Category:	Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:	Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2001:070 (gdm)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to gdm announced via advisory MDKSA-2001:070. A buffer overrun exists in the XDMCP handling code used in gdm. By sending a properly crafted XDMCP message, it is possible for a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands as root on the susceptible machine. By default, XDMCP is disabled in gdm.conf on Mandrake Linux. Affected versions: 8.0 Solution: To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=MDKSA-2001:070 http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/1233 http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/security/RPM-GPG-KEYS Risk factor : High
