Mandrakelinux Security Update Advisory
_______________________________________________________________________

Package name: XFree86
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2004:073
Date: July 27th, 2004

Affected versions: 10.0
______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

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.
