The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200710-15 (KDM: Local privilege escalation)
Kees Huijgen discovered an error when checking the credentials which can lead to a login without specifying a password. This only occurs when auto login is configured for at least one user and a password is required to shut down the machine.
Impact :
A local attacker could gain root privileges and execute arbitrary commands by logging in as root without specifying root's password.
Workaround :
There is no known workaround at this time.
