The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory SUSE-SA:2006:039 (kdebase3-kdm).

The KDE Display Manager KDM stores the type of the previously used session in the user’s home directory.

By using a symlink a local attacker could trick kdm into also storing content of files that are normally not accessible by users, like for instance /etc/shadow.

This problem is tracked by Mitre CVE ID CVE-2006-2449 and was found by Ludwig Nussel of the SUSE Security Team.
