GDM2 2.14.8 (stable), the "SecurityFix" Release
AOOH-GAH -------- (If you have no clue what gdm is, skip a few paragraphs down first) The 2.14.8 release is a stable release of GDM with the following new features. Note this contains an important security fix, so users and distros should update immediately. - Correction for serious security issue where the user can enter the GDM configuration GUI with a user password when the Face Browser is enabled. Refer to bugzilla.gnome.org bug #343476 (Brian Cameron) This issue impacts all versions of GDM 2.8.0.0-2.8.0.7, 2.14.0-2.14.7, and 2.15.0-2.15.3. This issue was reported to vendor-sec one week ago and has ID #CVE-2006-2452. - Fixed bug where when the "Include All" button is modified in the Users tab, the Automatic/Timed login dropdown lists update properly. (Brian Cameron) - Now gdmflexiserver calls gdmcomm_check with FALSE so it will not pop up a dialog. gdmflexiserver can be run with the --command option which can be used when the user does not have permission to a DISPLAY, so trying to show a dialog was causing gdmflexiserver to core dump when the check failed. (Brian Cameron) - Added gestures to the AccessKeyMouseEvents configuration file so that users can access more accessibility features using dwell gestures. (Brian Cameron) - Translation updates (Laurent Dhima, Pema Geyleg, Theppitak Karoonboonyanan, Gabor Kelemen, Ahmad Riza H Nst, Vincent van Adrighem) Note: GDM2 was originally written by Martin K. Petersen <mkp@mkp.net>. Much work has been done on GDM2 by George Lebl, and Brian Cameron currently shares maintainership duties with the Queen of England. Note2: If installing from the tarball do note that make install overwrites most of the setup files, all except gdm.conf. It will however save backups with the .orig extension first. #ifndef GDM_DISABLE_DEPRECATED Note3: Note3 has been depracated ... #endif /* GDM_DISABLE_DEPRECATED */ Downloading: ============ Online Documentation - http://www.gnome.org/projects/gdm/ Latest Stable - http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gdm/2.14/ Latest Unstable - http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gdm/2.15/ No RPM this time around BTW.
