 Mandriva Linux Security Advisory                         MDKSA-2006:100
 http://www.mandriva.com/security/
 _______________________________________________________________________
 
 Package : gdm
 Date    : June 13, 2006
 Affected: 2006.0
 _______________________________________________________________________
 
 Problem Description:
 
 A vulnerability in gdm could allow a user to activate the gdm setup
 program if the administrator configured a gdm theme that provided a
 user list.  The user could do so by choosing the setup option from
 the menu, clicking the user list, then entering his own password
 instead of root's.
 
 The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
