According to the versions of the xorg-x11-server package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

    A use-after-free flaw was found in X.Org and Xwayland. When a device is removed while still frozen, the     events queued for that device remain while the device is freed. Replaying the events will cause a use-     after-free.(CVE-2025-26600)

    A use-after-free flaw was found in X.Org and Xwayland. When changing an alarm, the values of the change     mask are evaluated one after the other, changing the trigger values as requested, and eventually,     SyncInitTrigger() is called. If one of the changes triggers an error, the function will return early, not     adding the new sync object, possibly causing a use-after-free when the alarm eventually     triggers.(CVE-2025-26601)

    A buffer overflow flaw was found in X.Org and Xwayland. The code in XkbVModMaskText() allocates a fixed-     sized buffer on the stack and copies the names of the virtual modifiers to that buffer. The code fails to     check the bounds of the buffer and would copy the data regardless of the size.(CVE-2025-26595)

    An out-of-bounds write flaw was found in X.Org and Xwayland. The function GetBarrierDevice() searches for     the pointer device based on its device ID and returns the matching value, or supposedly NULL, if no match     was found. However, the code will return the last element of the list if no matching device ID is found,     which can lead to out-of-bounds memory access.
    (CVE-2025-26598)

    An access to an uninitialized pointer flaw was found in X.Org and Xwayland. The function     compCheckRedirect() may fail if it cannot allocate the backing pixmap. In that case, compRedirectWindow()     will return a BadAlloc error without validating the window tree marked just before, which leaves the     validated data partly initialized and the use of an uninitialized pointer later.
    (CVE-2025-26599)

    A buffer overflow flaw was found in X.Org and Xwayland. If XkbChangeTypesOfKey() is called with a 0 group,     it will resize the key symbols table to 0 but leave the key actions unchanged. If the same function is     later called with a non-zero value of groups, this will cause a buffer overflow because the key actions     are of the wrong size.
    (CVE-2025-26597)

    A use-after-free flaw was found in X.Org and Xwayland. The root cursor is referenced in the X server as a     global variable. If a client frees the root cursor, the internal reference points to freed memory and     causes a use-after-free.
    (CVE-2025-26594)

    A heap overflow flaw was found in X.Org and Xwayland. The computation of the length in XkbSizeKeySyms()     differs from what is written in XkbWriteKeySyms(), which may lead to a heap-based buffer overflow.
    (CVE-2025-26596)
