Animated cursors use a series of cursors that the client can set. By default, the Xserver assumes at least one cursor is specified while a client may actually pass no cursor at all. That causes an out-of-bound read creating the animated cursor and a crash of the Xserver: | Invalid read of size 8 | at 0x5323F4: AnimCursorCreate (animcur.c:325) | by 0x52D4C5: ProcRenderCreateAnimCursor (render.c:1817) | by 0x52DC80: ProcRenderDispatch (render.c:1999) | by 0x4A1E9D: Dispatch (dispatch.c:560) | by 0x4B0169: dix_main (main.c:284) | by 0x4287F5: main (stubmain.c:34) | Address 0x59aa010 is 0 bytes after a block of size 0 alloc'd | at 0x48468D3: reallocarray (vg_replace_malloc.c:1803) | by 0x52D3DA: ProcRenderCreateAnimCursor (render.c:1802) | by 0x52DC80: ProcRenderDispatch (render.c:1999) | by 0x4A1E9D: Dispatch (dispatch.c:560) | by 0x4B0169: dix_main (main.c:284) | by 0x4287F5: main (stubmain.c:34) | | Invalid read of size 2 | at 0x5323F7: AnimCursorCreate (animcur.c:325) | by 0x52D4C5: ProcRenderCreateAnimCursor (render.c:1817) | by 0x52DC80: ProcRenderDispatch (render.c:1999) | by 0x4A1E9D: Dispatch (dispatch.c:560) | by 0x4B0169: dix_main (main.c:284) | by 0x4287F5: main (stubmain.c:34) | Address 0x8 is not stack'd, malloc'd or (recently) free'd To avoid the issue, check the number of cursors specified and return a BadValue error in both the proc handler (early) and the animated cursor creation (as this is a public function) if there is 0 or less cursor.

X Server
The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows, which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program can draw into.
Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server (or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager, which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons and draggable titlebars and borders.
