Could we please get a CVE assigned to the following issue?: Starting with ldm 2.2.x, upstream switched to using wwm as a minimal window manager. It was discovered that wwm ships with keybindings that allow spawning an xterm. As the ldm greeter runs as root, this allows for a passwordless root shell. Bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ldm/+bug/953340 Commit: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ltsp-upstream/ltsp/ldm-trunk/revision/1419 Thanks, Marc.
