Hi,
* Nico Golde <oss-security+ml () ngolde de> [2009-05-05 17:18]:
can I get a CVE id for http://bugs.debian.org/526678

The xvfb-run script used in Debian insecurely passes the X 
magic cookie via the commandline so it's an easy thing to 
grab it with system access.

YFYI, our maintainer just told me that he thinks this is included 
since Fedora 10 in Fedora as well...

Cheers
Nico
