What is CVE-2007-5958?

The X.Org Xserver prior to version 1.4.1 is susceptible to a vulnerability that permits local users to ascertain the presence of arbitrary files. This is achieved through the -sp option of the X program, where divergent error messages are returned depending on whether the specified filename exists. This behavior can lead to unauthorized information disclosure, as attackers can leverage the error messages to infer sensitive file existence on the system.
