| Description |

A security issue was discovered in xorg-server before 1.20.10. Insufficient checks on input of the XkbSetDeviceInfo request can lead to a buffer overflow on the head in the X server. This issue can lead to privileges elevations for authorized clients on systems where the X server is running privileged. |
