    CVE-2008-1142 (GCVE-0-2008-1142)

    Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2008-04-07 17:00 – Updated: 2024-08-07 08:08
    VLAI
    Summary
    rxvt 2.6.4 opens a terminal window on :0 if the DISPLAY environment variable is not set, which might allow local users to hijack X11 connections. NOTE: it was later reported that rxvt-unicode, mrxvt, aterm, multi-aterm, and wterm are also affected. NOTE: realistic attack scenarios require that the victim enters a command on the wrong machine.
