Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2015-08-03 01:59 - Updated: 2026-06-17 00:28
Severity
Summary
The x11_open_helper function in channels.c in ssh in OpenSSH before 6.9, when ForwardX11Trusted mode is not used, lacks a check of the refusal deadline for X connections, which makes it easier for remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via a connection outside of the permitted time window.
