commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=9b62f5905e9f9d47363983a5bd7ef8672b21cca6
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

Fixes the following security issues:

1) CVE-2023-6377: X.Org server: Out-of-bounds memory write in XKB button actions

A device has XKB button actions for each button on the device.  When a
logical device switch happens (e.g.  moving from a touchpad to a mouse), the
server re-calculates the information available on the respective master
device (typically the Virtual Core Pointer).  This re-calculation only
allocated enough memory for a single XKB action rather instead of enough for
the newly active physical device's number of button.  As a result, querying
or changing the XKB button actions results in out-of-bounds memory reads and
writes.

This may lead to local privilege escalation if the server is run as root or
remote code execution (e.g. x11 over ssh).

2) CVE-2023-6478: X.Org server: Out-of-bounds memory read in
RRChangeOutputProperty and RRChangeProviderProperty

This fixes an OOB read and the resulting information disclosure.

Length calculation for the request was clipped to a 32-bit integer.  With
the correct stuff->nUnits value the expected request size was truncated,
passing the REQUEST_FIXED_SIZE check.

The server then proceeded with reading at least stuff->nUnits bytes
(depending on stuff->format) from the request and stuffing whatever it finds
into the property.  In the process it would also allocate at least
stuff->nUnits bytes, i.e.  4GB.

See also CVE-2022-46344 where this issue was fixed for other requests.
