RHSA-2026:84574 PUBLISHED CVSS 7.800000190734863 HIGH

Record from redhat · Published October 19, 2026

A flaw was found in xorg-x11-server. A local user can exploit a use-after-free condition—where the software attempts to access memory after it has been freed—by establishing a passive input grab and removing an input device. When subsequent input events are processed, the server dereferences the dangling device pointer. This flaw can lead to arbitrary code execution or a Denial of Service (DoS) via an X server crash.
