Synopsis:	Important: kdebase security update
Issue date:	2010-04-14
CVE Names:	CVE-2010-0436

A privilege escalation flaw was found in the KDE Display Manager (KDM). 
A local user with console access could trigger a race condition, 
possibly resulting in the permissions of an arbitrary file being set to 
world writable, allowing privilege escalation. (CVE-2010-0436)

The system should be rebooted for this update to take effect. After the 
reboot, administrators should manually remove all leftover user-owned 
dmctl-* directories in "/var/run/xdmctl/".
