gdm 3.30.3 release. - Screen lock bypass fix (when timed login is enabled) (CVE-2019-3825) - Translation updates. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2019-caab5920f2 2019-03-02 01:46:25.106359 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Name : gdm Product : Fedora 29 Version : 3.30.3 Release : 1.fc29 URL : https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GDM Summary : The GNOME Display Manager Description : GDM, the GNOME Display Manager, handles authentication-related backend functionality for logging in a user and unlocking the user's session after it's been locked. GDM also provides functionality for initiating user-switching, so more than one user can be logged in at the same time. It handles graphical session registration with the system for both local and remote sessions (in the latter case, via the XDMCP protocol). In cases where the session doesn't provide it's own display server, GDM can start the display server on behalf of the session. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Update Information: gdm 3.30.3 release. - Screen lock bypass fix (when timed login is enabled) (CVE-2019-3825) - Translation updates --------------------------------------------------------------------------------ChangeLog: * Tue Feb 26 2019 Kalev Lember - 1:3.30.3-1 - Update to 3.30.3 * Wed Dec 19 2018 Kalev Lember - 1:3.30.2-1 - Update to 3.30.2 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------References: [ 1 ] Bug #1672825 - CVE-2019-3825 gdm: lock screen bypass when timed login is enabled https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1672825 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------This update can be installed with the "dnf" update program.
