CentOS Linux 7 [TuxCare] Security Update: xorg-x11-server-Xdmx / xorg-x11-server-Xephyr / etc Multiple Vulnerabilities (CENTOS7:CLSA-2026:1790585169)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 362471

Synopsis

The CentOS Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The CentOS Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare CENTOS7:CLSA-2026:1790585169 advisory.

 - An out-of-bounds read flaw was found in the X.Org X server and Xwayland in
 __glXDisp_ChangeDrawableAttributes(). A wrong size validation check can read a client-controlled number of bytes, exceeding the request buffer, leading to information disclosure. A write path also exists but requires byte-swapped clients which is disabled by default. (CVE-2026-50262)

 - A use-after-free flaw was found in the X.Org X server and Xwayland in CreateSaverWindow(). A client can trigger a use-after-free read after changing window attributes and forcing the screen saver, leading to information disclosure. (CVE-2026-50263)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages based on the guidance in TuxCare advisory CENTOS7:CLSA-2026:1790585169.
