Turbolinux Security Announcement 27/Aug/2003
============================================================

The following page contains the security information of Turbolinux Inc.

- Turbolinux Security Center
http://www.turbolinux.com/security/

(1) gdm -> Multiple vulnerabilities in gdm
(2) perl -> Cross-site scripting vulnerability


===========================================================
* gdm -> Multiple vulnerabilities in gdm
===========================================================

More information :
Gdm (the GNOME Display Manager) is a highly configurable reimplementation of xdm,
the X Display Manager.
GDM contains a bug where GDM will run as root when examining the
~/.xsession-errors file when using the examine session errors feature,
allowing local users the ability to read any text file on the system by
creating a symlink.
The vulnerability in the XDMCP ( X Display Manager Control Protocol)
support for GDM allows attackers to cause a denial of service.
The XDMCP is disabled by default


Impact :
These vulnerabilities may allow local users to read arbitrary files
on the system by creating a symlink and allow an attacker to create
a DoS condition on the GDM.

Affected Products :
- Turbolinux 8 Server
- Turbolinux 8 Workstation
- Turbolinux 7 Server
- Turbolinux 7 Workstation
- Turbolinux Server 6.5
- Turbolinux Advanced Server 6
- Turbolinux Server 6.1
- Turbolinux Workstation 6.0


Solution :
Please use turbopkg tool to apply the update.
