26511 KDE KDM Login Sesson Type Symlink Arbitrary File Read

KDM contains a flaw that may allow a malicious local user to read any files on the system. The issue is due to the 'ReadDmrc()' function reading temporary files insecurely. It is possible for a user to use a symlink style attack to read arbitrary files, resulting in a loss of confidentiality.
