Subject: [PATCH xserver 1/2] composite: Handle failure to redirect in
compRedirectWindow()
The function compCheckRedirect() may fail if it cannot allocate the
backing pixmap.
In that case, compRedirectWindow() will return a BadAlloc error.
However that failure code path will shortcut the validation of the
window tree marked just before, which leaves the validate data partly
initialized.
That causes a use of uninitialized pointer later.
The fix is to not shortcut the call to compHandleMarkedWindows() even in
the case of compCheckRedirect() returning an error.
CVE-2025-26599, ZDI-CAN-25851
