Descriptions
A flaw was found in the X.Org server. The cursor code in both Xephyr and Xwayland uses the wrong type of private at creation. It uses the cursor bits type with the cursor as private, and when initiating the cursor, that overwrites the XSELINUX context.

An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause the X Server to crash, obtain sensitive information, or execute arbitrary code. Jan-Niklas Sohn discovered that the X.Org X Server incorrectly handled reattaching to a different master device. An attacker could use this issue to cause the X Server to crash, leading to a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. Olivier Fourdan and Donn Seeley discovered that the X.Org X Server incorrectly labeled GLX PBuffers when used with SELinux. An attacker could use this issue to cause the X Server to crash, leading to a denial of service.
