AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions X.Org versions 6.8.2 and earlier

Description The issue is related to the XClientMessageEvent struct used in certain components of X.Org, which might include the X server and Xlib. The struct uses a "long" specifier for elements of the l array, resulting in inconsistent sizes on 32-bit versus 64-bit platforms. This could allow attackers to cause a denial of service, potentially leading to an application crash, and might enable other attacks.

Recommendations For X.Org versions 6.8.2 and earlier, update to a version later than 6.8.2 to resolve the issue.
