Fedora Core 5 GDM Update 2.14.8: Moderate User Interface Risk

fedora
Calendar Grey June 9, 2006
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Resolving a medium-level vulnerability in GDM during the transition to revision 2.14.8 on Fedora Core 5.
This update also upgrades GDM to version 2.14.8.

Summary

Gdm (the GNOME Display Manager) is a highly configurable

reimplementation of xdm, the X Display Manager. Gdm allows you to log

into your system with the X Window System running and supports running

several different X sessions on your local machine at the same time.

This update addresses a moderate security issue where the

user can enter the GDM configuration GUI with a user

password when the Face Browser is enabled. Refer to

bugzilla.gnome.org bug #343476.

This update also upgrades GDM to version 2.14.8.
