+    GDM is the GNOME display manager.

+  <description>
+    <p>
+    The result of a g_strsplit() call is incorrectly parsed in the files
+    daemon/gdm.c, daemon/gdmconfig.c, gui/gdmconfig.c and
+    gui/gdmflexiserver.c, allowing for a null pointer dereference.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="low">
+    <p>
+    A local user could send a crafted message to /tmp/.gdm_socket that
+    would trigger the null pointer dereference and crash GDM, thus
+    preventing it from managing future displays.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    Restrict the write permissions on /tmp/.gdm_socket to trusted users
+    only after each GDM restart.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All GDM users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "gnome-base/gdm"</code>
