Title:	Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2014-0026)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'lightdm-gtk-greeter' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2014-0026 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'lightdm-gtk-greeter' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2014-0026 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Updated lightdm-gtk-greeter package fixes security vulnerability: lightdm-gtk-greeter uses the lightdm-gobject API incorrectly and does not handle lightdm_greeter_get_authentication_user() returning NULL when the username of the previous authentication is invalid resulting in a NULL pointer dereference in start_authentication(). This constitutes a local denial of service which can be triggered by any unprivileged attacker requiring the intervention of an administrator to restart lightdm (CVE-2014-0979). Affected Software/OS: 'lightdm-gtk-greeter' package(s) on Mageia 3. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 2.1 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P
