xorg server crashes after latest security update (xorg-server-1.20.14-x86_64-12)
by typbigoh from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6P3EW)
Hello,
Recently I started using a Java application called "Chatty" (https://chatty.github.io/) and I have noticed that Xorg crashes quite often for me whenever I have this app running. I don't have a reliable way to reproduce this (it was happening quite consistently at first when triggering a certain set of actions in that app, but I am having trouble reproducing it at the same consistency a day later even though I am still getting X server crashes when I am using this app).
I have tried downgrading from xorg-server-1.20.14-x86_64-12 to xorg-server-1.20.14-x86_64-11 which I fetched from the cumulative archive of Slackware packages and at the time of testing I have not been able to reproduce these Xorg crashes on this version of the package even though I was able to consistently reproduce them after upgrading back from -11 to the -12 version yesterday, so I believe that maybe a change introduced by a recent security patch in the -12 version may be causing a problem for me.
Please find attached my entire Xorg.0.log file, the last part that is logged before the crash is this:

[ 88.257] (EE)I think that the related Xorg security advisory can be found here:
https://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-an...il/003497.html
which points to the following commit:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/...d1f5057eeb3160
I see that commit was referenced in an issue reported here:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/.../-/issues/1659
I'm not sure if this is related to my crashes but I do see that there is a mention of the xorg server crashing with IntelliJ IDEA (another Java app).
Any further insights into what may be causing this or a potential fix are highly appreciated.
If any further information is required from my side, please let me know :)
Kind regards,

I am experiencing this with Slackware 15.0 (stable).
