Descriptions

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.

El wrapper de las X de X.org (xserver-wrapper.c) en Debian GNU/Linux and Ubuntu Linux no verifica debidamente la TTY de un usuario que está arrancando las X, lo cual permite a usuarios locales evadir restricciones de acceso mediante las asociación de stdin con un archivo que es malinterpretado como la consola TTY.
