Title: Multiple Xwindows Client for 9x / Nt / 2000 Default Export Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
Various X-Windows clients for Microsoft operating systems exist to allow these machine to connect to remote Unix-based X servers. Many of these products ship with X sessions exported to the world by default. If an X session is available to a remote user, keystrokes and other information can be captured, including usernames and passwords.
Note that this is not a weakness in the software itself, merely in the default configuration.
Affected Products:
- Hummingbird Exceed 6.0.1
- Hummingbird Exceed 6.0.2
- Hummingbird Exceed 6.1.0
