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

<p>
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.
