+ GDM allows a normal user to access the configuration manager.

+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ When the "face browser" in GDM is enabled, a normal user can use the
+ "configure login manager" with his/her own password instead of the root
+ password, and thus gain additional privileges.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All GDM users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=gnome-base/gdm-2.8.0.8"</code>
