Level: 6/10
Description: Local user can hijack X-session of different user because of invalid DISPLAY variable initialization.

Affected: OPENSSH : OpenSSH 4.3
CVE: CVE-2008-1483 (OpenSSH 4.3p2, and probably other versions, allows local users to hijack forwarded X connections by causing ssh to set DISPLAY to :10, even when another process is listening on the associated port, as demonstrated by opening TCP port 6010 (IPv4) and sniffing a cookie sent by Emacs.)
