Descriptions

xterm on Slackware Linux 10.2 stores information that had been displayed for a different user account using the same xterm process, which might allow local users to bypass file permissions and read other users' files, or obtain other sensitive information, by reading the xterm process memory. NOTE: it could be argued that this is an expected consequence of multiple users sharing the same interactive process, in which case this is not a vulnerability.

xterm en Slackware Linux 10.2 almacena información que ha sido visualizada por una cuenta de usuario diferente usando el mismo proceso xterm, lo que permite a usuarios locales evitar los permisos del fichero y leer los ficheros de otros usuarios u obtener información sensible mediante la lectura de la memoria del proceso xterm. NOTA: puede ser expuesto que esta es una consecuencia esperada de que múltiples usuarios compartan el mismo proceso interactivo, en cuyo caso esto no sería una vulnerabilidad.
