<title>XFree86, X.org: XDM ignores requestPort setting</title>
<synopsis>
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.

<background>
<p>
The X Display Manager (XDM) is a program which provides a graphical login
prompt to users on the console or on remote X terminals. It has largely
been superseded by programs such as GDM and KDM.
</p>
</background>
<description>
<p>
XDM will open TCP sockets for its chooser, even if the
DisplayManager.requestPort setting is set to 0. Remote clients can use this
port to connect to XDM and request a login window, thus allowing access to
the system.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="low">
<p>
Authorized users may be able to login remotely to a machine running XDM,
even if this option is disabled in XDM's configuration. Please note that an
attacker must have a preexisting account on the machine in order to exploit
this vulnerability.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time. All users should upgrade to the
latest available version of X.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
If you are using XFree86, you should run the following:
</p>
<code>
# emerge sync
# emerge -pv ">=x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r6"
# emerge ">=x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r6"</code>
<p>
If you are using X.org's X11 server, you should run the following:
</p>
<code>
# emerge sync
# emerge -pv ">=x11-base/xorg-x11-6.7.0-r1"
# emerge ">=x11-base/xorg-x11-6.7.0-r1"</code>
