CVE-2007-5079

Created:

August 27, 2010

Updated:

September 1, 2010

Description:

From the Red Hat advisory:

A flaw was found in the way the gdm package was built. The gdm package was missing TCP wrappers support on 64-bit platforms, which could result in an administrator believing they had access restrictions enabled when they did not.
