Does the IPS sensor vulnerable to the X11 port forwarding session hijack vulnerability ?

A. No. It is not vulnerable for these reasons: • The sensor does not have X11 libraries. Therefore there are no sessions to hijack. • X11 port forwarding is not enabled in the SSH configuration. • IPv6 is not compiled into the sensor kernel. This is required in order to exploit the vulnerability.
