Description

This update of FreeNX fixes the insecure handling of the X authentication. If the XAUTHORITY variable is not set nxagent falsely allows all local users access to the X server.

Solution(s)

With Rapid7 live dashboards, I have a clear view of all the assets on my network, which ones can be exploited, and what I need to do in order to reduce the risk in my environment in real-time. No other tool gives us that kind of value and insight.
