Category:	Debian Local Security Checks
Title:	Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-2205-1)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'gdm3' package(s) announced via the DSA-2205-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'gdm3' package(s) announced via the DSA-2205-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Sebastian Krahmer discovered that GDM 3, the GNOME Display Manager, does not properly drop privileges when manipulating files related to the logged-in user. As a result, local users can gain root privileges. The oldstable distribution (lenny) does not contain a gdm3 package. The gdm package is not affected by this issue. For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 2.30.5-6squeeze2. For the testing distribution (wheezy) and the unstable distribution (sid), this problem will be fixed soon. We recommend that you upgrade your gdm3 packages. Affected Software/OS: 'gdm3' package(s) on Debian 6. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 6.9 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
