Summary

CVE-2022-49737 is a race condition vulnerability affecting X.Org X server versions 20.11 to 21.1.16. This issue occurs when a client application uses easystroke for mouse gestures and the main thread modifies data structures used by the input thread without acquiring a lock. Specifically, the function AttachDevice in dix/devices.c fails to acquire an input lock, leading to potential security vulnerabilities. This could allow an attacker to manipulate input data, leading to unintended actions or crashes.
