CVE-2013-1940

Publication date 17 April 2013

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

X.Org X server before 1.13.4 and 1.4.x before 1.14.1 does not properly restrict access to input events when adding a new hot-plug device, which might allow physically proximate attackers to obtain sensitive information, as demonstrated by reading passwords from a tty.
