40 GDM is the GNOME display manager.

43 <description>
44 <p>
45 The result of a g_strsplit() call is incorrectly parsed in the files
46 daemon/gdm.c, daemon/gdmconfig.c, gui/gdmconfig.c and
47 gui/gdmflexiserver.c, allowing for a null pointer dereference.
48 </p>
49 </description>
50 <impact type="low">
51 <p>
52 A local user could send a crafted message to /tmp/.gdm_socket that
53 would trigger the null pointer dereference and crash GDM, thus
54 preventing it from managing future displays.
55 </p>
56 </impact>
57 <workaround>
58 <p>
59 Restrict the write permissions on /tmp/.gdm_socket to trusted users
60 only after each GDM restart.
61 </p>
62 </workaround>
63 <resolution>
64 <p>
65 All GDM users should upgrade to the latest version:
66 </p>
67 <code>
68 # emerge --sync
69 # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;gnome-base/gdm&quot;</code>
