CheckKeyTypes computes nMaps = firstType + nTypes from client-controlled
request fields when XkbSetMapResizeTypes is set. This value is used to
index mapWidths[], a stack-allocated CARD8 array of XkbMaxLegalKeyCode + 1
(256) elements. No upper bound is enforced on nMaps.
An attacker can first send SetMap(firstType=0, nTypes=255, ResizeTypes) to
set the server's num_types to 255, then send SetMap(firstType=255,
nTypes=10, ResizeTypes). The firstType > num_types check passes because
255 > 255 is false (the check uses > rather than >=). nMaps is then
computed as 265, and the loop writes mapWidths[255..264], overflowing 9
bytes past the stack buffer into adjacent stack variables (symsPerKey[]).
Fix by rejecting requests where firstType + nTypes would exceed the
mapWidths buffer size (XkbMaxLegalKeyCode + 1).

CheckKeyTypes validates incoming key type definitions from XkbSetMap
requests but does not enforce an upper bound on numLevels. A client can set
numLevels up to 255 on a non-canonical key type, which is stored in the
server's type table.
When ChangeKeyboardMapping later triggers XkbUpdateKeyTypesFromCore, the
function XkbKeyTypesForCoreSymbols computes groupsWidth from num_levels and
uses the XKB_OFFSET(g, l) = (g * groupsWidth) + l macro to index into
tsyms[], a stack-allocated buffer of XkbMaxSymsPerKey (252) entries. With
num_levels=255, groupsWidth=255, and indices reach up to 3*255+254 = 1019,
overflowing the 252-element stack buffer by 767 KeySym-sized entries.
Fix by rejecting numLevels values greater than XkbMaxShiftLevel (63) in
CheckKeyTypes, alongside the existing lower-bound check for numLevels < 1.

CheckKeyActions() validates the per-key action count bytes individually
but does not verify that the computed total action data region falls
within the request buffer before advancing the wire pointer past it.
After the loop, the function calculates the final wire position as
wire + nActs * sizeof(XkbAnyAction), where nActs is the sum of per-key
action counts read from the request. The upstream length validation in
_XkbSetMapCheckLength() uses req->totalActs from the request header,
not the computed nActs. If a crafted request provides a totalActs value
that passes the length check but per-key action counts that sum to a
different nActs, the wire pointer could advance past the actual request
buffer.
The subsequent SetKeyActions() function uses memcpy to read from this
potentially out-of-bounds region, which could leak heap data or cause
a crash.

Off-by-one in rowUnder validation: the bounds check uses '>' instead
of '>=' when comparing rWire->rowUnder against section->num_rows.
Since num_rows is a count and valid indices are 0 to num_rows-1,
rowUnder == num_rows passes the check but is one past the valid range.
XkbAddGeomOverlayRow() uses this as an array index, causing an
out-of-bounds read on section->rows[].

The issue is that the loop in CheckModifierMap() reads from wire without
verifying that the data is within the request bounds.
The req->totalModMapKeys value could exceed the actual data provided,
causing reads of uninitialized memory.
To fix that issue, we add a bounds check using _XkbCheckRequestBounds,
but for that, we need to also pass a ClientPtr parameter, which is not
a problem since CheckModifierMap() is a private, static function.

Each key alias entry contains two key names (the alias and the real key
name), each of size XkbKeyNameLength.
The current bounds check only validates the first name, allowing
XkbAddGeomKeyAlias to potentially read uninitialized memory when
accessing the second name at &wire[XkbKeyNameLength].
To fix this, change the value to check to use 2 * XkbKeyNameLength to
validate the bounds.

If the "compat" buffer has previously been truncated, there will be
unused space in the buffer. The code uses this space, but does not
update the number of valid entries in the buffer.
In the best case, this leads to the new compat entries being ignored. In the
worst case, if there are any "skipped" compat entries, the number of
valid entries will be corrupted, potentially leading to a buffer read
overrun when processing a future request.
Set the number of used "compat" entries when re-using previously
allocated space in the buffer.

Before this commit the count of key type level names was wrongly set
in `XkbGetNames`: for key type without names, it was set to the level
count, while it should be 0:
- `XkbComputeGetNamesReplySize()` does not account key type without
level names;
- `XkbSendNames()` does not write any level entry for key types without
level names.
This causes a mismatch offset while parsing the response and its
processing would ultimately fail.
Fixed by setting the correct level name count: 0 if there is no level
name, else the number of levels.

When a group indicator (or a latched indicator of any kind) is defined,
e.g.:
indicator "Scroll Lock" { groups = Group2; }
the logical and physical indicator state may desync across multiple

This is caused by XkbPushLockedStateToSlaves only pushing locked_mods to
the slave devices. Pushing locked_group (as well as latched groups/mods)
along with locked_mods resolves the issue.
The issue is not observed with API calls because a different code path

Consider the following keymap:
```xkb
xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes {
<compose> = 135;
};
xkb_symbols {
key <compose> {
[ SetGroup(group = +1) ]
};
};
};
```
When the user presses the compose key, the following happens:
1. The compositor forwards the key to Xwayland.
2. Xwayland executes the SetGroup action and sets the base_group to 1
and the effective group to 1.
3. The compositor updates its own state and sends the effective group,
1, to Xwayland.
4. Xwayland sets the locked group to 1 and the effective group to
1 + 1 = 2.
This is wrong since pressing compose should set the effective group to 1
but to X applications the effective group appears to be 2.
This commit makes it so that Xwayland completely ignores the key
behaviors and actions of the keymap and only updates the modifier and
group components in response to the wayland modifiers events.

If XkbChangeTypesOfKey() is called with nGroups == 0, it will resize the
key syms to 0 but leave the key actions unchanged.
If later, the same function is called with a non-zero value for nGroups,
this will cause a buffer overflow because the key actions are of the wrong
size.
To avoid the issue, make sure to resize both the key syms and key actions
when nGroups is 0.

The code in XkbVModMaskText() allocates a fixed sized buffer on the
stack and copies the virtual mod name.
There's actually two issues in the code that can lead to a buffer
overflow.
First, the bound check mixes pointers and integers using misplaced
parenthesis, defeating the bound check.
But even though, if the check fails, the data is still copied, so the
stack overflow will occur regardless.
Change the logic to skip the copy entirely if the bound check fails.

(cherry picked from commit 11fcda8753)
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/merge_requests/1831>
Consider the following keymap:
```xkb
xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes {
<compose> = 135;
};
xkb_symbols {
key <compose> {
[ SetGroup(group = +1) ]
};
};
};
```
When the user presses the compose key, the following happens:
1. The compositor forwards the key to Xwayland.
2. Xwayland executes the SetGroup action and sets the base_group to 1
and the effective group to 1.
3. The compositor updates its own state and sends the effective group,
1, to Xwayland.
4. Xwayland sets the locked group to 1 and the effective group to
1 + 1 = 2.
This is wrong since pressing compose should set the effective group to 1
but to X applications the effective group appears to be 2.
This commit makes it so that Xwayland completely ignores the key
behaviors and actions of the keymap and only updates the modifier and
group components in response to the wayland modifiers events.

Generating the modifier modmap, the helper function generate_modkeymap()
would check the entire range up to the MAP_LENGTH.
However, the given keymap might have less keycodes than MAP_LENGTH, in
which case we would go beyond the size of the modmap, as reported by
ASAN:

As MAP_LENGTH is used in various code paths where the max keycode might
not be easily available, best is to always use MAP_LENGTH to allocate the
keymaps so that the code never run past the buffer size.
If the max key code is smaller than the MAP_LENGTH limit, fill-in the gap
with zeros.
That also simplifies the code slightly as we do not constantly need to
reallocate the keymap to adjust to the max key code size.

The _XkbSetCompatMap() function attempts to resize the `sym_interpret`
buffer.
However, It didn't update its size properly. It updated `num_si` only,
without updating `size_si`.
This may lead to local privilege escalation if the server is run as root
or remote code execution (e.g. x11 over ssh).

The XKM_OUTPUT_DIR folder by default is defined as ${datadir}/X11/xkb/compiled
and it is usually defined as /var/lib/xkb or %{_localstatedir}/lib/xkb by
distributions. If X is executed as non-root it won't have permissions to write
into that folder. If we fallback directly to /tmp we might get name collisions:
```
> Error: Cannot open "/tmp/server-10.xkm" to write keyboard description
> Exiting
```
Where the file /tmp/server-10.xkm already exists but is owned by another user
that previously executed X and had the display number 10. This is specially
problematic when exeuting Xvfb.
Before falling back to /tmp/ check first the XDG_RUNTIME_DIR.
This is to make sure the hardware gets the device states regardless
whether the internal state has changed or not, to overcome situations
that device LEDs are out of sync e.g. switching between VTs.

_XkbCheckRequestBounds assumes that from..to is at least one byte.
However, request strings can be empty, causing spurious failures in
XkbGetKbdByName calls. To avoid this, before checking bounds make
sure that the length is nonzero.
GetCountedString did a check for the whole string to be within the
request buffer but not for the initial 2 bytes that contain the length
field. A swapped client could send a malformed request to trigger a
swaps() on those bytes, writing into random memory.
