OpenSSH 4.3p2, and probably other versions, allows local users to hijack forwarded X connections by causing ssh to set DISPLAY to :10, even when another process is listening on the associated port, as demonstrated by opening TCP port 6010 (IPv4) and sniffing a cookie sent by Emacs.

Exploit prediction (EPSS)

0.35% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days, higher than 28% of all scored CVEs.
