xkb: Don't swap XkbSetGeometry data in the input buffer
The XkbSetGeometry request embeds data which needs to be swapped when the server and the client have different endianess. _XkbSetGeometry() invokes functions that swap these data directly in the input buffer. However, ProcXkbSetGeometry() may call _XkbSetGeometry() more than once (if there is more than one keyboard), thus causing on swapped clients the same data to be swapped twice in memory, further causing a server crash because the strings lengths on the second time are way off bounds. To allow _XkbSetGeometry() to run reliably more than once with swapped clients, do not swap the data in the buffer, use variables instead. v3: backport to nx-libs 3.6.x as a prereq for the CVE-2015-0255 fix (Mike DePaulo) Signed-off-by: Olivier Fourdan <ofourdan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer@who-t.net> (cherry picked from commit 81c90dc8f0aae3b65730409b1b615b5fa7280ebd) (cherry picked from commit 29be310c303914090298ddda93a5bd5d00a94945) Signed-off-by: Julien Cristau <jcristau@debian.org> index 2405090..7db0959 100644
