Vulnerability in OpenBSD Openssh (CVE-2026-55655)

Summary

Vulnerability in OpenBSD Openssh (CVE-2026-55655). Confidential information can be exposed externally.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

A flaw was found in OpenSSH. A local unprivileged attacker on a Linux client host can hijack client-side X11 forwarding connections. This is possible by pre-binding the preferred abstract X socket name when X11 forwarding is enabled and a local UNIX-domain X socket is used. A successful attack can compromise the confidentiality of forwarded X11 traffic, including sensitive window contents and input, and may allow some manipulation of the forwarded session.
