CVE-2008-1483

Status Candidate

Overview

OpenSSH 4.3p2, and probably other versions, allows local users to hijack forwarded X connections by causing ssh to set DISPLAY to :10, even when another process is listening on the associated port, as demonstrated by opening TCP port 6010 (IPv4) and sniffing a cookie sent by Emacs.

FreeBSD Security Advisory - OpenSSH has a X11-forwarding privilege escalation issue. When logging in via SSH with X11-forwarding enabled, sshd(8) fails to correctly handle the case where it fails to bind to an IPv4 port but successfully binds to an IPv6 port. In this case, applications which use X11 will connect to the IPv4 port, even though it had not been bound by sshd(8) and is therefore not being securely forwarded.
