Xi/randr: fix handling of PropModeAppend/Prepend
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The handling of appending/prepending properties was incorrect, with at
least two bugs: the property length was set to the length of the new
part only, i.e. appending or prepending N elements to a property with P
existing elements always resulted in the property having N elements
instead of N + P.

Second, when pre-pending a value to a property, the offset for the old
values was incorrect, leaving the new property with potentially
uninitalized values and/or resulting in OOB memory writes.
For example, prepending a 3 element value to a 5 element property would
result in this 8 value array:
  [N, N, N, ?, ?, P, P, P ] P, P
                            ^OOB write

The XI2 code is a copy/paste of the RandR code, so the bug exists in
both.
