Debian Security Advisory DSA-2205-1 [email protected]
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.
