Package: x11-common
Version: 1:7.1.0-7
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

x11-common installs the /usr/bin/X wrapper with SUID root permissions:

-rwsr-sr-x 1 root root 18416 2006-11-19 01:58 /usr/bin/X

This is fine on a workstation where one wants a X server.  However, on
a server that does not need a X server, but only X clients, this is a
security risk that I would prefer not to worry about (BTW, see bug
#396958).
