- CVEs with nessus.description==The GNOME Display Manager (GDM) provides the graphical login screen, shown shortly after boot up, log out, and when user-switching.
A race condition flaw was found in the way GDM handled the cache directories used to store users' dmrc and face icon files. A local attacker could use this flaw to trick GDM into changing the ownership of an arbitrary file via a symbolic link attack, allowing them to escalate their privileges. (CVE-2011-0727)
We would like to thank Sebastian Krahmer of the SuSE Security Team for reporting this issue.
