Package : xorg-server
CVE ID : CVE-2020-14360 CVE-2020-25712

Jan-Niklas Sohn discovered that the XKB extension of the Xorg X server
performed incomplete input validation, which could result in privilege
escalation.

For the stable distribution (buster), these problems have been fixed in
version 2:1.20.4-1+deb10u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your xorg-server packages.
