Commit 446ff2d317 added checks to
prevalidate the size of incoming SetMap requests.
That commit checks for the XkbSetMapResizeTypes flag to be set before
allowing key types data to be processed.
key types data can be changed or even just sent wholesale unchanged
without the number of key types changing, however. The check for
XkbSetMapResizeTypes rejects those legitimate requests. In particular,
XkbChangeMap never sets XkbSetMapResizeTypes and so always fails now
any time XkbKeyTypesMask is in the changed mask.
This commit drops the check for XkbSetMapResizeTypes in flags when
prevalidating the request length.
The X server uses this directory to store the compiled version of the
current keymap and/or any scratch keymaps used by clients. The X server
or some other tool might destroy or replace the files in this directory,
so it is not a safe place to store compiled keymaps for long periods of
time. The default keymap for any server is usually stored in:
X<num>-default.xkm
where <num> is the display number of the server in question, which makes
it possible for several servers *on the same host* to share the same
directory.
Unless the X server is modified, sharing this directory between servers on
different hosts could cause problems.
