3 security issues in trixie high

There are 3 open security issues in trixie.

2 important issues:
  • CVE-2026-55999: Local attackers with a X connection able to provide PCX fonts to the X server xorg-server before 21.2.24 and xwayland before 24.1.13 could cause a heap buffer overflow via SetFont due to missing glyph boundary checks.
  • CVE-2026-56000: Local attackers with a X connection able to provide GLX commit to the X server xorg-server before 21.2.24 and xwayland before 24.1.13 could cause a Heap Use After Free, due to CommonMakeCurrent() pointing into potentially reallocated memory.
1 issue left for the package maintainer to handle:
  • CVE-2023-5574: (postponed; to be fixed through a stable update) A use-after-free flaw was found in xorg-x11-server-Xvfb. This issue occurs in Xvfb with a very specific and legacy configuration (a multi-screen setup with multiple protocol screens, also known as Zaphod mode). If the pointer is warped from a screen 1 to a screen 0, a use-after-free issue may be triggered during shutdown or reset of the Xvfb server, allowing for possible escalation of privileges or denial of service.

You can find information about how to handle this issue in the security team's documentation.
