-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 _______________________________________________________________________ Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDKSA-2006:100 http://www.mandriva.com/security/ _______________________________________________________________________ Package : gdm Date : June 13, 2006 Affected: 2006.0 _______________________________________________________________________ Problem Description: A vulnerability in gdm could allow a user to activate the gdm setup program if the administrator configured a gdm theme that provided a user list. The user could do so by choosing the setup option from the menu, clicking the user list, then entering his own password instead of root's. The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue. _______________________________________________________________________ References: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-2452 _______________________________________________________________________ Updated Packages: Mandriva Linux 2006.0: 52484787cbd6245c3b8a60933d04b0c4 2006.0/RPMS/gdm-2.8.0.4-1.3.20060mdk.i586.rpm 647524fa758a38e234970d1c08bd6737 2006.0/RPMS/gdm-Xnest-2.8.0.4-1.3.20060mdk.i586.rpm e464e85b60fcfb39e178e94f268e6698 2006.0/SRPMS/gdm-2.8.0.4-1.3.20060mdk.src.rpm Mandriva Linux 2006.0/X86_64: c3a140acd7b4a1275c810ddd587e8d3a x86_64/2006.0/RPMS/gdm-2.8.0.4-1.3.20060mdk.x86_64.rpm 27b79ebf1a55d018041f63b3069174af x86_64/2006.0/RPMS/gdm-Xnest-2.8.0.4-1.3.20060mdk.x86_64.rpm e464e85b60fcfb39e178e94f268e6698 x86_64/2006.0/SRPMS/gdm-2.8.0.4-1.3.20060mdk.src.rpm _______________________________________________________________________ To upgrade automatically use MandrivaUpdate or urpmi.
