CVE-2000-0374

Summary

CVE-2000-0374 is a vulnerability affecting the default configuration of the kdm (KDE Display Manager) in Caldera and Mandrake Linux, and potentially other distributions. This issue allows XDMCP (X Display Manager Control Protocol) connections from any host, enabling remote attackers to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information or bypass additional access restrictions. This can lead to significant security risks, as unsecured XDMCP connections can allow an attacker to view or manipulate data on the affected system. It is recommended that system administrators immediately configure their kdm installations to restrict XDMCP access to trusted hosts.
