Urgent - Potential security hole.

Hi,

I think I've found a hole!

I logged into this box from work yesterday via ssh, compiled Mono and
some other bits then decided to try if I could run a C# app from this
machine and view it at work.

I don't have X forwarding enabled and can see this by trying to run
Firefox on this machine when logged into my sons box - firefox fails to
run.

The C# application ran and I could use it at work.

I'm using the 643 kernel with everything updated. I'm not sure if this
is a mono thing or X forwarding being broken. I'm using selinux
targetted.

This could be a serious problem and I want to be sure before putting it
into bugzilla as a blocker.

TTFN

Paul
