It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2024-522 advisory.

    A flaw was found in xorg-server. Querying or changing XKB button actions such as moving from a touchpad to     a mouse can result in out-of-bounds memory reads and writes. This may allow local privilege escalation or     possible remote code execution in cases where X11 forwarding is involved. (CVE-2023-6377)

    A flaw was found in xorg-server. A specially crafted request to RRChangeProviderProperty or     RRChangeOutputProperty can trigger an integer overflow which may lead to a disclosure of sensitive     information. (CVE-2023-6478)
