Burghard Britzke discovered that GDM incorrectly handled certain configurations. An attacker could possibly use this issue to get unauthorized access to a different user.

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.
