CVE-2026-93522 is a heap buffer overflow in Xwayland's GPU-accelerated Glamor CopyArea CPU-to-framebuffer-object path. The temporary buffer, tmp_bits, is allocated using the destination height but indexed using source coordinates. When the source region is taller than the destination, writes exceed the allocated buffer and corrupt heap memory. The flaw affects Xwayland and is fixed in version 24.1.14. CVE-specific affected-component information identifies Xwayland only, although some bundled distribution advisories also associate the CVE with xorg-server updates.

A vulnerability affecting Fedora 44's xorg-x11-server-Xwayland package, addressed by advisory FEDORA-2026-2448dda850. The content does not describe its technical cause or individual impact.
A heap buffer overflow in Xwayland's glamor/GPU-accelerated CopyArea path can allow an authenticated X client to cause arbitrary code execution or denial of service. Triggering it requires a source region taller than the destination and drawables with mismatched depths (24-bit and 32-bit). The advisory rates it Important, with CVSS 3.1 score 7.8. It does not affect xorg-server-21.1.x. The upstream fix is available in xwayland-24.1.14, while Amazon Linux 2023 and Amazon Linux 2027 Preview packages are listed as Pending Fix.
