openssh: CVE-2008-3259

Severity: Low
Source: [NVD] · [CVE record]
EPSS: 0.33% · Oct 25, 2026

OpenSSH before 5.1 sets the SO_REUSEADDR socket option when the X11UseLocalhost configuration setting is disabled, which allows local users on some platforms to hijack the X11 forwarding port via a bind to a single IP address, as demonstrated on the HP-UX platform.
