CVE-2023-6816

Published: Jan 18, 2024

Modified: Mar 19, 2026

PUBLISHED

CVSS v3.1

9.8

CRITICAL

Description

A flaw was found in X.Org server. Both DeviceFocusEvent and the XIQueryPointer reply contain a bit for each logical button currently down. Buttons can be arbitrarily mapped to any value up to 255, but the X.Org Server was only allocating space for the device's particular number of buttons, leading to a heap overflow if a bigger value was used.
