Title:DSA-2205-1 gdm3 -- privilege escalation
Description:Sebastian Krahmer discovered that the gdm3, the GNOME Desktop Manager, does not properly drop privileges when manipulating files related to the logged-in user. As a result, local users can gain root privileges. The oldstable distribution does not contain a gdm3 package. The gdm package is not affected by this issue.
