X11/X.Org Security In Bad Shape

Posted by Soulskill on from the i-blame-the-schools dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A presentation at the Chaos Communication Congress explains how X11 Server security with being 'worse than it looks.'

The presentation by Ilja van Sprunde is available for streaming."
