    _XkbReadKeySyms, which could result in denial of service.

CVE-2023-43786

    Yair Mizrahi found an infinite recursion in PutSubImage when
    parsing a crafted file, which would result in stack exhaustion
    and denial of service.

CVE-2023-43787

    Yair Mizrahi discovered an integer overflow in XCreateImage
    when parsing crafted input, which would result in a small buffer
