CVE-2003-0794  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-400  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade gdm to version 2.4.1.7, 2.4.4.4 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS). GDM 2.4.4.x before 2.4.4.4, and 2.4.1.x before 2.4.1.7, does not limit the number or duration of commands and uses a blocking socket connection, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (resource exhaustion) by sending commands and not reading the results.
