CVE-2011-3153

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Light Display Manager (LightDM) versions prior to 1.1.1

Description The issue allows local users to read arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the ~/.dmrc file. This is due to a flaw in the dmrc.c component of LightDM.

Recommendations For versions prior to 1.1.1, update to version 1.1.1 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the ~/.dmrc file to minimize the risk of exploitation.
