X.Org Server and XWayland Impacted By Nine New AI-Discovered Security Vulnerabilities

As of early June, the X.Org Server and its XWayland component have been found to contain nine new security vulnerabilities. These flaws were reportedly discovered through the use of artificial intelligence. This development continues a long-standing pattern of security concerns for the X.Org Server, which has faced scrutiny for over a decade. Phoronix notes that a security research acknowledged in the past that X.Org security is "worse than it looks," a sentiment that still holds true. The discovery underscores ongoing challenges in maintaining the security posture of these fundamental Linux display components.
