Summary

CVE-2025-26600 is a use-after-free vulnerability affecting X.Org and Xwayland. When a device is removed while still frozen, events queued for that device persist, but the device is concurrently freed.

This vulnerability poses a significant risk to systems utilizing X.Org or Xwayland, particularly in environments where devices are frequently added or removed.
