CVE-2025-49179
Public on 2025-06-17

Description
The RecordSanityCheckRegisterClients() function in the X Record extension implementation of the Xserver checks for the request length, but does not check for integer overflow.
A client might send a very large value for either the number of clients or the number of protocol ranges that will cause an integer overflow in the request length computation, defeating the check for request length.
