Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing updates announced in

Vulnerability Insight:
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'
