+  <title>XFree86, X.org: XDM ignores requestPort setting</title>
+  <synopsis>
+    XDM will open TCP sockets for its chooser, even if the
+    DisplayManager.requestPort setting is set to 0. This may allow authorized
+    users to access a machine remotely via X, even if the administrator has
+    configured XDM to refuse such connections.

+    <p>
+    The X Display Manager (XDM) is a program which provides a graphical login
+    prompt to users on the console or on remote X terminals. It has largely
+    been superseded by programs such as GDM and KDM.
+    </p>
+  </background>
+  <description>
+    <p>
+    XDM will open TCP sockets for its chooser, even if the
+    DisplayManager.requestPort setting is set to 0. Remote clients can use this
+    port to connect to XDM and request a login window, thus allowing access to
+    the system.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="low">
+    <p>
+    Authorized users may be able to login remotely to a machine running XDM,
+    even if this option is disabled in XDM's configuration. Please note that an
+    attacker must have a preexisting account on the machine in order to exploit
+    this vulnerability.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time. All users should upgrade to the
+    latest available version of X.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    If you are using XFree86, you should run the following:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge sync
+
+    # emerge -pv "&gt;=x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r6"
+    # emerge "&gt;=x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r6"</code>
+    <p>
+    If you are using X.org's X11 server, you should run the following:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge sync
+
+    # emerge -pv "&gt;=x11-base/xorg-x11-6.7.0-r1"
+    # emerge "&gt;=x11-base/xorg-x11-6.7.0-r1"</code>
