Package: kdm
Version: 4:3.5.3-2
Severity: grave
Tags: security patch
Justification: user security hole

KDM allows the user to select the session type for login. This
setting is permanently stored in the user home directory. By
using a symlink attack, KDM can be tricked into allowing the
user to read file content that would otherwise be unreadable
to this particular user.
