<p>
GDM is the GNOME display manager.
</p>
</background>
<description>
<p>
GDM allows a normal user to access the configuration manager.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="high">
<p>
When the "face browser" in GDM is enabled, a normal user can use the
"configure login manager" with his/her own password instead of the root
password, and thus gain additional privileges.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All GDM users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=gnome-base/gdm-2.8.0.8"</code>
</resolution>
