Multiple functions in the Xinput extension handling of requests from
clients failed to check that the length of the request sent by the
client was large enough to perform all the required operations and
thus could read or write to memory outside the bounds of the request
buffer.
This commit includes the creation of a new REQUEST_AT_LEAST_EXTRA_SIZE
macro in include/dix.h for the common case of needing to ensure a
request is large enough to include both the request itself and a
minimum amount of extra data following the request header.

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.
For a comprehensive overview of X Server and X Window System, consult the
