CVE-2008-3259 (CCN-43940)

Assigned:2008-07-21
Published:2008-07-21
Updated:2017-08-08
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.
