Synopsis:	Low: gdm security and bug fix update
Issue date:	2010-08-26
CVE Names:	CVE-2007-5079

A flaw was found in the way the gdm package was built. The gdm package 
was missing TCP wrappers support on 64-bit platforms, which could result 
in an administrator believing they had access restrictions enabled when 
they did not. (CVE-2007-5079)

This update also fixes the following bug:

* sometimes the system would hang instead of properly shutting down when
a user chose "Shut down" from the login screen. (BZ#625818)

GDM must be restarted for this update to take effect. Rebooting achieves 
this, but changing the runlevel from 5 to 3 and back to 5 also restarts GDM.
