CVE-2009-2697

Publication date 4 September 2009

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Negligible

Why this priority?

The Red Hat build script for the GNOME Display Manager (GDM) before 2.16.0-56 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5 omits TCP Wrapper support, which might allow remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via XDMCP connections, a different vulnerability than CVE-2007-5079.
