Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDKSA-2006-106 - A problem with how kdm manages the ~/.dmrc file was discovered by Ludwig Nussel. By using a symlink attack, a local user could get kdm to read arbitrary files on the system, including privileged system files and those belonging to other users. Mandriva's mdkkdm also suffers from this same problem and has been patched to correct it. Only Corporate 3 is affected; in Mandriva Linux 2006, mdkkdm is in contribs.
