GDM allows a normal user to access the configuration manager.

<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>
