Descriptions

An issue was discovered in SDDM before 0.19.0. It incorrectly starts the X server in a way that - for a short time period - allows local unprivileged users to create a connection to the X server without providing proper authentication. A local attacker can thus access X server display contents and, for example, intercept keystrokes or access the clipboard. This is caused by a race condition during Xauthority file creation.

Se detectó un problema en SDDM versiones anteriores a 0.19.0. Inicia incorrectamente el servidor X de una manera que, durante un corto período de tiempo, permite a usuarios locales no privilegiados crear una conexión con el servidor X sin proveer la autenticación apropiada. Un atacante local puede así acceder al contenido de la pantalla del servidor X y, por ejemplo, interceptar las pulsaciones de teclas o acceder al portapapeles. Esto es causado por una condición de carrera durante la creación del archivo Xauthority
