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.)
