The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200606-14 (GDM: Privilege escalation)

GDM allows a normal user to access the configuration manager.

Impact :

When the 'face browser' in GDM is enabled, a normal user can use the     'configure login manager' with his/her own password instead of the root     password, and thus gain additional privileges.

Workaround :

There is no known workaround at this time.
