Aterm, Eterm, Mrxvt, multi-aterm, RXVT, rxvt-unicode, and wterm are X11
|
|
terminal emulators.

Bernhard R. Link discovered that RXVT opens a terminal on :0 if the
|
|
"-display" option is not specified and the DISPLAY environment variable
|
|
is not set. Further research by the Gentoo Security Team has shown that
|
|
aterm, Eterm, Mrxvt, multi-aterm, rxvt-unicode, and wterm are also
|
|
affected.
