1) CVE-2023-6816: Heap buffer overflow in DeviceFocusEvent and
ProcXIQueryPointer

Introduced in: xorg-server-1.13.0 (2012)
Fixed in: xorg-server-21.1.11 and xwayland-23.2.4
Fix:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/commit/75199129c603fc8567185ac31866c9518193cb78
Found by: Jan-Niklas Sohn working with Trend Micro Zero Day Initiative

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 number of buttons, leading to a heap overflow if a bigger value
was used.

xorg-server-21.1.11 and xwayland-23.2.4 have been patched to fix this issue.
Comment 2 Stefan Dirsch 2024-01-08 14:31:51 UTC 
I've submitted now xorg-x11-server and xwayland packages for 

sle12-sp5
sle15-sp2
sle15-sp4
sle15-sp5

I will take care of packages for ALP, sle15-sp6 and X11:XOrg/factory/Tumbleweed once the security update has been officially released.

Comment 6 Stefan Dirsch 2024-01-16 14:32:10 UTC 
Security update for xwayland now done in X11:XOrg devel project. Packages now submitted for factory/Tumbleweed, ALP and sle15-sp6.

Security update for xwayland now done in X11:XOrg devel project. Packages now submitted for factory/Tumbleweed and ALP.
SP6 inherits xorg-x11-server from sle15-sp6, for which I already submitted the fixes.
