Description Dhananjay Arunesh 2020-08-26 09:24:57 UTC 
The X.Org X wrapper (xserver-wrapper.c) in 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.
