-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2020-1650d8012f 2020-12-22 01:28:31.149550 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : gdm Product : Fedora 33 Version : 3.38.2.1 Release : 1.fc33 URL : https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GDM Summary : The GNOME Display Manager Description : GDM, the GNOME Display Manager, handles authentication-related backend functionality for logging in a user and unlocking the user's session after it's been locked. GDM also provides functionality for initiating user-switching, so more than one user can be logged in at the same time. It handles graphical session registration with the system for both local and remote sessions (in the latter case, via the XDMCP protocol). In cases where the session doesn't provide it's own display server, GDM can start the display server on behalf of the session. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: gdm 3.38.2.1 release: - Address autologin unlock bug issue (CVE-2020-27837) - Translation updates -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Sat Dec 19 2020 Kalev Lember <[email protected]> - 1:3.38.2.1-1 - Update to 3.38.2.1 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #1906812 - CVE-2020-27837 gdm: lock screen bypass when autologin is set https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1906812 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "dnf" update program.
