</affected>
<background>
<p>
Aterm, Eterm, Mrxvt, multi-aterm, RXVT, rxvt-unicode, and wterm are X11
terminal emulators.
</p>

<description>
<p>
Bernhard R. Link discovered that RXVT opens a terminal on :0 if the
"-display" option is not specified and the DISPLAY environment variable
is not set. Further research by the Gentoo Security Team has shown that
aterm, Eterm, Mrxvt, multi-aterm, rxvt-unicode, and wterm are also
affected.

</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to hijack X11
terminals of other users.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
