    Group
  • The SUSE operating system SSH daemon must disable forwarded remote X connections for interactive users, unless to fulfill documented and validated mission requirements.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;The security risk of using X11 forwarding is that the client's X11 display server may be exposed to attack when the SSH clien...
