Jan-Niklas Sohn discovered that multiple input validation failures in X
server extensions of the X.org X server may result in privilege
escalation if the X server is running privileged.

For the oldstable distribution (buster), these problems have been fixed
in version 2:1.20.4-1+deb10u4.

For the stable distribution (bullseye), these problems have been fixed in
