SCO OpenServer 5.0.5 through 5.0.7 only supports Xauthority style access control when users log in using scologin, which allows remote attackers to gain unauthorized access to an X session via other X login methods.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2004-0390 affects SCO OpenServer 5.0.5 through 5.0.7. If users start X sessions through login methods other than scologin, Xauthority-style access control may not be available, allowing unauthorized remote access to an X session. Exposure is most likely in legacy environments still running SCO OpenServer 5.0.5, 5.0.6, or 5.0.7 with X Window sessions and non-scologin login methods enabled or reachable. Treat this as a legacy-system exposure review, not an emergency internet-wide issue. Prioritize if SCO OpenServer still supports sensitive operations, remote administration, or exposed graphical sessions. Mitigation focus: Review SCO advisory SCOSA-2004.5 for vendor-recommended fixes or configuration changes.; Prefer scologin for X sessions where operationally feasible.; Restrict remote access to X services from untrusted networks..
