S-123: xorg-x11-server Security Update

There are several security issues in xorg-x11-server: 1) two integer overflow flaws; 2) a memory corruption flaw; 3) an input validation flaw; 4) an information disclosure flaw; and 5) a flaw was found in the X.Org server's XC-SECURITY extension. The risk is MEDIUM. A malicious authorized client could exploit this issue to cause a denial of service (crash), or potentially execute arbitrary code with root privileges on the X.Org server.
