CVE-2015-3164 xorg-x11-server: Xwayland allows unconditional open access to display
It was found that Xwayland allowed users to access a display even if it was started with the "-auth" option.
Furthermore, current wayland compositors (including weston, mutter, and, probably, all others), neglect to start Xwayland with "-auth".
