Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.54612
Category:Gentoo Local Security Checks
Title:Gentoo Security Advisory GLSA 200407-05 (xdm)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:
The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory GLSA 200407-05.

XDM will open TCP sockets for its chooser, even if the
DisplayManager.requestPort setting is set to 0. This may allow authorized
users to access a machine remotely via X, even if the administrator has
configured XDM to refuse such connections.

Solution:
If you are using XFree86, you should run the following:

# emerge sync

# emerge -pv '>=x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r6'
# emerge '>=x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r6'

If you are using X.org's X11 server, you should run the following:

# emerge sync

# emerge -pv '>=x11-base/xorg-x11-6.7.0-r1'
# emerge '>=x11-base/xorg-x11-6.7.0-r1'
