-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA-2205-1 security () debian org http://www.debian.org/security/ Florian Weimer March 28, 2011 http://www.debian.org/security/faq - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package : gdm3 Vulnerability : privilege escalation Problem type : local Debian-specific: no CVE ID : CVE-2011-0727 Sebastian Krahmer discovered that the gdm3, the GNOME Desktop Manager, does not properly drop privileges when manipulating files related to the logged-in user. As a result, local users can gain root privileges. The oldstable distribution (lenny) does not contain a gdm3 package. The gdm package is not affected by this issue. For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 2.30.5-6squeeze2. For the testing distribution (wheezy) and the unstable distribution (sid), this problem will be fixed soon. We recommend that you upgrade your gdm3 packages.
