[slackware-security] GDM security update (SSA:2003-236-01)

Upgraded gdm packages are available for Slackware 9.0 and -current.
These fix a security issue where a local user may use GDM to read any
file on the system.


Here are the details from the Slackware 9.0 ChangeLog:

Sun Aug 24 14:36:29 PDT 2003
patches/packages/gdm-2.4.1.6-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to gdm-2.4.1.6.
This fixes a bug where a local user may read any system file by making a
symlink to it from $HOME/.xsession-errors and using GDM's error browser
to read the file.
