It wasn't that easy to find on GitHub, but retrospectively I'm surprised that you missed it in the chatroom https://matrix.to/#/#security:nixos.org |

I will have a look if we can backport just the security patches, or if we'll need the whole (somewhat unusually numbered) version bump. I suspect that if the patches aren't trivial to backport, the X server is a stable enough piece of software that it should be safe to backport the whole version.
