medium Nessus Plugin ID 122746

Language:

Synopsis

The remote openSUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

This update for gdm fixes the following issues :

Security issue fixed :

 - CVE-2019-3825: Fixed a lock screen bypass when timed login was enabled (bsc#1124628).

Other issues fixed :

 - GLX applications do not work well when the proprietary nvidia driver is used with a wayland session. Because of that this update disables wayland on that hardware (bsc#1112578).

 - Fixed a System halt in the screen with message 'End of ORACLE section' (bsc#1120307).

 - Fixed an issue which did not allow the returning to text console when gdm is stopped (bsc#1113700).	

 - Fixed an issue which was causing system hang during the load of gdm (bsc#1112578).

This update was imported from the SUSE:SLE-15:Update update project.

Solution

Update the affected gdm packages.
