Key Information:
What is CVE-2025-49178?
A vulnerability in the X server's request handling mechanism has been identified, which allows the potential for a denial of service. The flaw occurs when a client's request contains a non-zero 'bytes to ignore' value, resulting in the server erroneously bypassing the processing of requests from other clients. This can lead to impaired functionality and accessibility of services that rely on the X server for graphical interface operations.
