Off-by-one in rowUnder validation: the bounds check uses '>' instead of '>=' when comparing rWire->rowUnder against section->num_rows. Since num_rows is a count and valid indices are 0 to num_rows-1, rowUnder == num_rows passes the check but is one past the valid range. XkbAddGeomOverlayRow() uses this as an array index, causing an out-of-bounds read on section->rows[]. And throw in two alloc checks while we're at it.
