CVE-2008-1483 Information

Description

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.
