Detail
| A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases: Ubuntu 9.10 Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Ubuntu 10.10 This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu. The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 9.10: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS: Ubuntu 10.10: After a standard system update you need to log out all desktop sessions and restart GDM to make all the necessary changes. Details follow: Sebastian Krahmer discovered that GDM (GNOME Display Manager) did not properly drop privileges when handling the cache directories used to store users' dmrc and face icon files. This could allow a local attacker to change the ownership of arbitrary files, thereby gaining root privileges. |
