Anyone running X11 on a turbo linux 1.2 system (who has not modified
anything) is most likely affected.

I attempted to notify the author here first, but it bounced... so here you
go.

this is the default xinitrc on Turbolinux 1.2 systems.  anyone see a hole?
being that Turbolinux 1.2 is based on Red Hat 5, RH5 may have this hole
too.


Apparently not. Just checked

xinitrc-1.3-5

contains no xhost references.
