Description:

When XBMC is started in standalone mode with the systemd service, X listens on port 6000/tcp for :: (and 0.0.0.0). As far as I know, the manipulation of X clients should only be possible with the correct MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE, but this potentially attackable setting should be opt-in (as it is in the default Arch Linux X startup configuration).

I attached a fixed service file.


Additional info:

I recognized it with "xbmc-git-20121205-1" but according to the .service file, the problem should also be existing in "xbmc-11.0-13".


Steps to reproduce:
* # systemctl start xbmc
* # netstat -tulpen
   xbmc.service (0.3 KiB)
This task depends upon
