Descriptions
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.
Red Hat build script para GNOME Display Manager (GDM) anterior a v2.16.0-56 en Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) v5 no da soporte a TCP Wrapper, lo que podría permitir a atacantes remotos saltar las restricciones de acceso previstas a través de conexiones XDMCP, una vulnerabilidad diferente que CVE-2007-5079.
