Echo: xorg-server: security update to 2:21.1.16-1.3+deb13u2+e2

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 455211

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - A use-after-free flaw was found in the X.Org X server and Xwayland in miSyncDestroyFence(). A client that
 sets up multiple fence triggers can trigger a use-after-free function pointer call. An attacker would
 connect to the X server to set up a fence and await that fence, then a second X connection destroys the
 fence, causing the use-after-free. This may be used to crash the server, or for privilege escalation if
 the X server runs as root. (CVE-2026-50257)

Solution

Update the xorg-server library and its related packages to version 2:21.1.16-1.3+deb13u2+e2 or later.
