An issue was discovered in SDDM before 0.19.0. It incorrectly starts the X
server in a way that - for a short time period - allows local unprivileged
users to create a connection to the X server without providing proper
authentication. A local attacker can thus access X server display contents
and, for example, intercept keystrokes or access the clipboard. This is
caused by a race condition during Xauthority file creation.
