Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:
The remote host is missing an update to liblightdm-gobject-1-0

adjusting permissions on .Xauthority files. A local attacker could exploit
this issue to access arbitrary files, and possibly obtain increased
privileges. In the default Ubuntu installation, this would be prevented
by the Yama link restrictions. (CVE-2011-4105)
