OpenSSH X Connections Session Hijacking Vulnerability

OpenSSH is prone to a vulnerability that allows attackers to hijack forwarded X connections.

Successfully exploiting this issue may allow an attacker run arbitrary shell commands with the privileges of the user running the affected application.

This issue affects OpenSSH 4.3p2; other versions may also be affected.

NOTE: This issue affects the portable version of OpenSSH and may not affect OpenSSH running on OpenBSD.
