DESCRIPTION:
Red Hat has issued an update for gdm. This fixes a security issue,
which can be exploited by malicious people to potentially bypass
certain security restrictions.
The problem is that the gdm package is built without TCP wrappers
support, which could result in improper access restrictions being
imposed.
SOLUTION:
Updated packages are available via Red Hat Network.
