CWE-200  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:13 lightdm to version 1.0.9-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream lightdm package and not the lightdm package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:13 relevant fixed versions and status.

lightdm before 1.0.9 does not properly close file descriptors before opening a child process, which allows local users to write to the lightdm log or have other unspecified impact.
