GHSA-6fpx-j7j8-53rc PUBLISHED

Record from GitHub Advisory Database · Published May 14, 2022

The x11_open_helper function in channels.c in ssh in OpenSSH before 6.9, when ForwardX11Trusted mode is not used, lacks a check of the refusal deadline for X connections, which makes it easier for remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via a connection outside of the permitted time window.
