Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : XFree86 (MDKSA-2004:073)

high Nessus Plugin ID 14171

Synopsis

The remote Mandrake Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

Steve Rumble discovered XDM in XFree86 opens a chooserFd TCP socket even when DisplayManager.requestPort is 0, which could allow remote attackers to connect to the port, in violation of the intended restrictions.

The updated packages are patched to correct the problem.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
