Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2008-07-22 16:41 - Updated: 2026-04-23 00:35
Severity
Summary
OpenSSH before 5.1 sets the SO_REUSEADDR socket option when the X11UseLocalhost configuration setting is disabled, which allows local users on some platforms to hijack the X11 forwarding port via a bind to a single IP address, as demonstrated on the HP-UX platform.
