Type: local
Level: 5/10
Description: Invalid usage of X11 cookies.

Affected: OPENSSH : OpenSSH 4.7
CVE: CVE-2007-4752 (ssh in OpenSSH before 4.7 does not properly handle when an untrusted cookie cannot be created and uses a trusted X11 cookie instead, which allows attackers to violate intended policy and gain privileges by causing an X client to be treated as trusted.)
