OpenSSH is prone to a vulnerability that allows attackers to hijack
forwarded X connections.
Successfully exploiting this issue may allow an attacker run arbitrary
shell commands with the privileges of the user running the affected
application.
This issue affects OpenSSH 4.3p2; other versions may also be affected.
NOTE: This issue affects the portable version of OpenSSH and may not
affect OpenSSH running on OpenBSD.
