Descriptions

OpenSSH 4.3p2, and probably other versions, allows local users to hijack forwarded X connections by causing ssh to set DISPLAY to :10, even when another process is listening on the associated port, as demonstrated by opening TCP port 6010 (IPv4) and sniffing a cookie sent by Emacs.

OpenSSH 4.3p2 y probablemente otras versiones, permite a usuarios locales secuestrar conexiones X enviadas provocando que ssh ponga DISPLAY a :10, incluso cuando otro proceso está escuchando en el puerto asociado, como se demostró abriendo el puerto TCp 6010 (IPv4) y escaneando una cookie enviada por Emacs.
