It was discovered that Light Display Manager incorrectly handled privileges when reading .dmrc files. A local attacker could exploit this issue to read arbitrary configuration files, bypassing intended permissions. (CVE-2011-3153)

It was discovered that Light Display Manager incorrectly handled links when adjusting permissions on .Xauthority files. A local attacker could exploit this issue to access arbitrary files, and possibly obtain increased privileges. In the default Ubuntu installation, this would be prevented by the Yama link restrictions. (CVE-2011-4105).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
