Tracker summary

CVE-2011-4613 medium priority: Ubuntu including 1 source packages (xorg), 6 status rows across 6 suites (hardy, lucid, maverick, natty, oneiric, upstream): released 5, ignored 1.

Description:

The X.Org X wrapper (xserver-wrapper.c) in Debian GNU/Linux and Ubuntu Linux does not properly verify the TTY of a user who is starting X, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions by associating stdin with a file that is misinterpreted as the console TTY.
