Subject: [PATCH] xkb: Fix buffer overflow in _XkbSetCompatMap()
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The _XkbSetCompatMap() function attempts to resize the `sym_interpret`
buffer.

However, It didn't update its size properly. It updated `num_si` only,
without updating `size_si`.

This may lead to local privilege escalation if the server is run as root
or remote code execution (e.g. x11 over ssh).

CVE-2024-9632, ZDI-CAN-24756

This vulnerability was discovered by:
Jan-Niklas Sohn working with Trend Micro Zero Day Initiative
