Even if your distro is using Wayland by default, the Xwayland implementation is probably still used for compatibility with X11 apps, so you still need to patch your systems and make sure that the latest version is installed.
@prodentim I can tell you put a lot of time and effort into this post. It really shows in the quality of the final product.
But people told me X is not being maintained anymore.
Actively developed is different from “maintained”
OpenOffice (OO) is being maintained and shouldn’t be used
LibreOffice is being actively developed and should be used as a replacement to OO
Legacy softwares such as X11 and OO get updates to fix vulnerabilities
You prob said as irony, so used this opportunity to promote LibreOffice :)

I invite everyone to take a look at Open Office’s commits over the past few years, it’s hilarious
Part of this is possibly due to Xwayland too
Its not very actively developed but maintained. Development is nearly exclusively for XWayland
That makes sense. X is done, and Wayland isn’t.
Its not very actively developed but maintained.
Enough for me.
Yeah, they lied. X being dead and full of security issues is just a FUD. Keep calm and carry on using X.
funny wayland propaganda. They patched these issues, proving they don’t patch issues. Are you serious?
