...rg-server-1.1.1 (2006)
Fixed in: xorg-server-21.1.14 and xwayland-24.1.4
Fix:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/commit/85b776571487f52e756f68a069c768757369bfe3

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).
xorg-server-21.1.14 and xwayland-24.1.4 have been patched to fix...
