Category:	Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:	Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2006:083 (gdm)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to gdm announced via advisory MDKSA-2006:083. A race condition in daemon/slave.c in gdm before 2.14.1 allows local users to gain privileges via a symlink attack when gdm performs chown and chgrp operations on the .ICEauthority file. Packages have been patched to correct this issue. Affected: 2006.0 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-2006:083 Risk factor : Medium CVSS Score: 3.7
