Hi everyone,
Microimages has one nice X server for Windows, which allow you to wun
Windows 95/98 and to work Graphicaly with some *NIX based system, for
example I have SunOS and I export my DISPLAY to my host where I'm running
Windows95/98 with MIX server, and all I run on my Sun will be graphicaly
come to my windows X server.
What is the vulnerable. If you know someone is using that X server, you
just type:
export DISPLAY=hishost.com:0.0
xterm
( then wait about 10 seconds and hit Ctrl-C )
It will kill MIX server on remote Machine.
Where is the bug - MIX kills automatically when someone stop the process
locally from the *NIX based system, not killing the process from the X
server by closing the windows.
That's It
MIX can be obtained on www.microimages.com
