Increased Traffic to 7100/udp
We are aware of a dramatic increase in inbound traffic to port
7100/udp over the past 48 hours. 7100/udp is used by multiple applications,
most commonly X Font Server. X Font Server provides a mechanism for the X
server to communicate with a font renderer and is commonly used on the X Window
System. This increase in traffic is unusual as remote access to the X Font
Server is not typically required for normal operations
We encourage administrators to block inbound traffic to port 7100/udp at the
network perimeter.
