Package: gdm
Version: 2.20.11-2
Severity: important
Upstream fixed with the 2.32.1 release a local exploitable bug (which
would give root)
in the package:
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-announce-list/2011-March/msg00107.html
CVE-2011-0727 was assigned for this.
As I do understand it, all packages <2.32.1 are affected.
