Description:
OpenBSD has issued an update for xdm. This fixes a security issue, which potentially may allow malicious users to gain unintended access to a system.
A CVS version of XFree86 xdm, which is included in some versions of OpenBSD, has an error that causes it to listen for queries on a random TCP socket, even though requestPort is set to "0" in the configuration file.
