Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions libXcursor versions prior to 1.1.15

Description The issue is related to a one-byte heap overflow in the XcursorThemeInherits function in library.c, which can be exploited by remote attackers to cause denial of service or potentially execute code. This is due to a buffer overflow vulnerability for a null-terminated string.
