=========================================================== 
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-396-1          December 14, 2006
gdm vulnerability
CVE-2006-6105
==========================================================
A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
Ubuntu 6.10

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 6.06 LTS:
  gdm                                      2.14.10-0ubuntu1.1

Ubuntu 6.10:
  gdm                                      2.16.1-0ubuntu4.1

After a standard system upgrade you need to reboot your computer to
effect the necessary changes.

Details follow:

A format string vulnerability was discovered in the gdmchooser component 
of the GNOME Display Manager.  By typing a specially crafted host name, 
local users could gain gdm user privileges, which could lead to further 
account information exposure.
