A Security Vulnerability in Low Bandwidth X proxy (lbxproxy(1)) may allow a local unprivileged user, the ability to read some data from any file that has group ownership of root on the system.

lbxproxy(1) is used for making connections to the X11 Display Server (Xserver or Xorg) faster over a low bandWidth connection.

Sun acknowledges with thanks, Charles Morris, Old Dominion University, for discovering and reporting this issue.
