CVE-2000-1169
CVSS v2.0
7.5
High
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
OpenSSH versions prior to 2.3.0
Description:
The issue allows a malicious SSH server to gain access to the X11 display and sniff X11 events, or gain access to the ssh-agent, due to improper disabling of X11 or agent forwarding in the OpenSSH SSH client.
Recommendations:
For versions prior to 2.3.0, update to version 2.3.0 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling X11 forwarding and agent forwarding until a patch is available. Restrict access to the ssh-agent to minimize the risk of exploitation.
