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. (CVE-2024-0229)

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. (CVE-2024-0408)

Olivier Fourdan discovered that the X.Org X Server incorrectly handled
the curser code when used with SELinux. An attacker could use this issue to
cause the X Server to crash, leading to a denial of service.
(CVE-2024-0409)

Jan-Niklas Sohn discovered that the X.Org X Server incorrectly handled
memory when processing the XISendDeviceHierarchyEvent API. An attacker
could possibly use this issue to cause the X Server to crash, or execute
arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-21885)
