Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.50555
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2004:073 (XFree86)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to XFree86
announced via advisory MDKSA-2004:073.

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.

Affected versions: 10.0

Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
