A malicious, unauthenticated client could use this flaw to crash the X.Org server by submitting a specially crafted authentication request. Multiple out-of-bounds access flaws were found in the way the X.Org server calculated memory requirements for certain requests. A malicious, authenticated client could use either of these flaws to crash the X.Org server, or leak memory contents to the client.
