This code hasn't been updated with anything even resembling what anyone is
shipping in nearly thirty months. It hasn't built out of the box since
7.1. Most of its features over AIGLX are accomplished with DRI2 and
friends.
In the single output enabled case we never enter the loop and test
never gets set and so we fail to match a good mode.
This was causing my 2560x1600 to end up at 2048x1536.
Integer overflows can occur in the code validating the parameters for
the SProcRenderCreateLinearGradient, SProcRenderCreateRadialGradient
and SProcRenderCreateConicalGradient functions, leading to memory
corruption by swapping bytes outside of the intended request
parameters.
An integer overflow may occur in the computation of the size of the
glyph to be allocated by the ProcRenderCreateCursor() function which
will cause less memory to be allocated than expected, leading later to
dereferencing un-mapped memory, causing a crash of the X server.
An integer overflow may occur in the computation of the size of the
glyph to be allocated by the AllocateGlyph() function which will cause
less memory to be allocated than expected, leading to later heap
overflow.
An integer overflow in the validation of the parameters of the
ShmPutImage() request makes it possible to trigger the copy of
arbitrary server memory to a pixmap that can subsequently be read by
the client, to read arbitrary parts of the X server memory space.
Lack of validation of the parameters of the
SProcSecurityGenerateAuthorization SProcRecordCreateContext
functions makes it possible for a specially crafted request to trigger
the swapping of bytes outside the parameter of these requests, causing
memory corruption.
RealizeCursor should be called when the cursor is allocated. However, when the
root cursor is allocated, no devices exist yet, and thus RealizeCursor is
never called. This may lead to segfaults lateron in DDXes like Xnest that
actually need to do something for each cursor, and lateron rely on that
DDX-specific data for each cursor has been initialized.
Modelled after the xfree86 code. Call miDCInitialize to init the SW rendering
engine, then take the pointers, store it in a xnest-local variable, and put
the xnest-specific sprite funcs in place. In the xnest sprite funcs, call
through to the mi sprite funcs after doing xnest-specific stuff.
