I don't see how this is related to the topic at hand. A zero-day attack can be patched, but the security issues with X11 are intrinsic to the protocol itself and are nontrivial to fix.
- welterde 2y agoThat is not true. There are extensions to the X11 server that can resolve many of the security issues, but almost no one cares enough to use them. If you are doing X11 forwarding via SSH it defaults to a more restricted configuration that only allows a more restricted access to the server (no direct sniffing of the input devices for instance).
