Red Hat has released security updates that fix these vulnerabilities in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 and its variants. Users should apply the updates as described in the Red Hat advisory RHSA-2026:82015 (https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258) to remediate these issues. No additional mitigation steps are indicated beyond applying the official patches.

Description

Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in the X.Org X11 server and Xwayland components, which are responsible for graphical interfaces on Unix systems and running X clients under Wayland, respectively. These include privilege escalation via crafted RandR provider property requests, arbitrary code execution through a double-free in XKB geometry handling, and an out-of-bounds write due to unvalidated modifiers. Red Hat has released security updates addressing these issues in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 and related variants.
