Avoid use-after-free in _XimProtoSetIMValues()
Status in libx11 package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
I think that the patch
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libx11/commit/003e30a66a249f5c70b30d1c187385124cd4cdad
(issue: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libx11/issues/49)

LTS Bionic.
Although it didn't get an explicit CVS, use-after-free scenarios
should not get underestimated.
