Title:	RedHat Security Advisory RHSA-2007:0286
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory RHSA-2007:0286. Gdm (the GNOME Display Manager) is a highly configurable reimplementation of xdm, the X Display Manager. Gdm allows you to log into your system with the X Window System running and supports running several different X sessions on your local machine at the same time. Marcus Meissner discovered a race condition issue in the way Gdm modifies the permissions on the .ICEauthority file. A local attacker could exploit this flaw to gain privileges. Due to the nature of the flaw, however, a successful exploitation was unlikely. (CVE-2006-1057) This erratum also includes a bug fix to correct the pam configuration for the audit system. All users of gdm should upgrade to this updated package, which contains backported patches to resolve these issues. Solution: Please note that this update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2007-0286.html http://www.redhat.com/security/updates/classification/#low Risk factor : Medium CVSS Score: 3.7
