CAN-2003-0548/9 XDMCP GDM DoS
bugzilla·2003-08-15
[MEDIUM] CAN-2003-0548/9 XDMCP GDM DoS
CAN-2003-0548/9 XDMCP GDM DoS
Two bugs have been found in the X Display Manager Control Protocol (XDMCP)
which could allow a denial of service attack (DoS) by crashing the gdm
daemon. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the names CAN-2003-0548 and CAN-2003-0549 to these issues.
This attack is only possible if XDMCP is enabled. XDMCP is not enabled by
default in Red Hat Enterprise Linux distributions. In addition is
documented best practise that XDMCP should only ever be run on trusted
networks.
Note that Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 is not vulnerable to CAN-2003-0547,
a vulnerability that allows a local user to read any text file, as it did
not have the "examine session errors" feature (bug 102275)
