Subject:      Security ERRATA for SL4 gdm i386/x86_64
Comments: To: scientific 

Synopsis:          Low: gdm security and bug fix update
Issue date:        2007-05-01
CVE Names:         CVE-2006-1057

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)
