Ubuntu Update for gdm USN-1142-1. Henne Vogelsang discovered that under certain PolicyKit configurations, GDM could be made to launch a browser. A local attacker could exploit this to gain access to files with the privileges of the gdm user. PolicyKit is not configured in this manner in Ubuntu by default
