Summary:
This event is generated when a remote user attempts to query the X Display Manager Control Protocol (XDMCP).

--
Impact:
Reconnaissance.  An attacker may obtain a list of usernames on the remote host.

--
Detailed Information:
The KDE Display Manager (KDM) provides a network protocol XDMCP to supply a graphical login screen.  It is possible to use this protocol to list the users on the remote host running XDMCP.  This provides reconnaissance and may be a precursor of attempting a brute force password attack of the revealed usernames.

--
Affected Systems:
Any host running XDMCP.

--
Attack Scenarios:
An attacker may obtain a list of current usernames on the remote host as a precursor of attempting a brute force attack to guess passwords of those users.

--
Ease of Attack:
Simple.

--
False Positives:
None.

--
False Negatives:
None Known.

--
Corrective Action:
Block inbound XDMCP traffic.

Disable XDMCP as a listening service on the remote host unless it is required.
