A use-after-free flaw was found in xorg-x11-server-Xvfb. This issue occurs in Xvfb with a very specific and legacy configuration (a multi-screen setup with multiple protocol screens, also known as Zaphod mode). If the pointer is warped from a screen 1 to a screen 0, a use-after-free issue may be triggered during shutdown or reset of the Xvfb server, allowing for possible escalation of privileges or denial of service.

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 flaw was found in the X.org server. Due to improperly tracked allocation size in _XkbSetCompatMap, a     local attacker may be able to trigger a buffer overflow condition via a specially crafted payload, leading     to denial of service or local privilege escalation in distributions where the X.org server is run with     root privileges.(CVE-2024-9632)

According to the versions of the cups package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

    CUPS is a standards-based, open-source printing system, and `libppd` can be used for legacy PPD file     support. The `libppd` function `ppdCreatePPDFromIPP2` does not sanitize IPP attributes when creating the     PPD buffer. When used in combination with other functions such as `cfGetPrinterAttributes5`, can result in     user controlled input and ultimately code execution via Foomatic. This vulnerability can be part of an     exploit chain leading to remote code execution (RCE), as described in CVE-2024-47176.(CVE-2024-47175)
