CRD: 2024-01-16 via xorg-security 3) CVE-2024-21885: Heap buffer overflow in XISendDeviceHierarchyEvent Introduced in: xorg-server-1.10.0 (2011) Fixed in: xorg-server-21.1.11 and xwayland-23.2.4 Fix: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/commit/033a2b12fcd02fa9a2c2f20a352bec0a43074512 Found by: Jan-Niklas Sohn working with Trend Micro Zero Day Initiative The XISendDeviceHierarchyEvent() function allocates space to store up to MAXDEVICES (256) xXIHierarchyInfo structures in info. If a device with a given ID was removed and a new device with the same ID added both in the same operation, the single device ID will lead to two info structures being written to info. Since this case can occur for every device ID at once, a total of two times MAXDEVICES info structures might be written to the allocation, leading to a heap buffer overflow. xorg-server-21.1.11 and xwayland-23.2.4 have been patched to fix this issue.
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.

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. Reassigning to security team.
