Details

It was discovered that Light Display Manager incorrectly handled privileges
when reading .dmrc files. A local attacker could exploit this issue to read
arbitrary configuration files, bypassing intended permissions.
(CVE-2011-3153)

It was discovered that Light Display Manager incorrectly handled links when
adjusting permissions on .Xauthority files. A local attacker could exploit
this issue to access arbitrary files, and possibly obtain increased
privileges. In the default Ubuntu installation, this would be prevented
by the Yama link restrictions. (CVE-2011-4105)
