The X.Org Server has updated to version 21.1.10. This update fixes two security issues in CVE-2023-6377 and CVE-2023-6478. CVE-2023-6478 is an out-of-bounds memory read within the RRChangeOutputProperty and RRChangeProviderProperty functions that could lead to information disclosure. Many Linux and BSD users use X.Org whether they know it or not as that is what the majority of Linux distros still ship with. The code is licensed using the MIT license.
