GEN005190 - The .Xauthority files must not have extended ACLs.

Information

.Xauthority files ensure the user is authorized to access that specific X Windows host. Extended ACLs may permit unauthorized modification of these files, which could lead to Denial of Service to authorized access or allow unauthorized access to be obtained.

Solution

Remove the extended ACL from the .Xauthority file(s) and disable extended permissions.
