[FW-1] Dealing with TCP Ports 6049-6051

[Ron Jack (Systems Network) [Permanent Link]]

This might be stretching the limits of being "on-topic", but...

6049-6051 are some of the ports used by the X Window Systems. We've been
asked to open them in-bound and out-bound to a specific IP address. Would a
situation like that concern any of you from a security stand-point with
regard to, say, X Window exploits? If so, would you point me in the
direction of documentation that explains why?

Thanks in advance,

Ron
