Package: gconf2 Version: 2.16.0-3 Severity: important Tags: security A vulnerability has been reported in gconfd:
The GConf daemon (gconfd) in GConf 2.14.0 creates temporary files under directories with names based on the username, even when GCONF_GLOBAL_LOCKS is not set, which allows local users to cause a denial of service by creating the directories ahead of time, which prevents other users from using Gnome. See http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=219279 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=167030 for details.
