 Mandriva Linux Security Advisory                         MDKSA-2006:083
 http://www.mandriva.com/security/
 _______________________________________________________________________
 
 Package : gdm
 Date    : May 9, 2006
 Affected: 2006.0
 _______________________________________________________________________
 
 Problem Description:
 
 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.
