integer overflow in XIGetProperty() [CVE-2013-1984 5/8]
If the number of items reported by the server is large enough that it overflows when multiplied by the size of the appropriate item type, then memory corruption can occur when more bytes are copied from the X server reply than the size of the buffer we allocated to hold them.
