The following upstream changes from XFree86 CVS HEAD were incorporated
into the 4.2.1-6 release:
* patch #000_stolen_from_HEAD_xdm: new;
(xc/programs/xdm/{Imakefile,access.c.auth.c,dm.c,policy.c,resource.c,
sessreg.c.,xdmcp.c}):
+ xdm fixes from Sebastian Krahmer (#5511):
- non exploitable overflow in ReadWord,
- use snprintf() everywhere,
- try to make DNS spoofing impossible.
(xc/programs/xdm/Imakefile): Don't build xdm greeter as a module when
HasSharedLibraries is NO. (David Dawes)
(xc/programs/xdm/daemon.c): libc5 build fix (Marc La France)
(xc/programs/xdm/{error.c,greeter/{Login.c,greet.c}}):
+ dont't use stdio or exit() in signal handler. (Matthieu Herrb)
+ On OpenBSD passwords can be more than 8 chars long (Terence M. Rokop).
+ Warning fixes (Marc La France)
(xc/programs/xdm/resource.c):
+ Remove OS/2 specific stuff and fix a typo (Holger Veit)
+ define DEF_RANDOM_FILE as "/dev/urandom" if the "linux" symbol is
defined (Egbert Eich)
(xc/programs/xdm/config/Imakefile):
+ Fix 'su' usage for FreeBSD in the default xdm config (Eric Anholt).
+ Warning fix (Matthieu Herrb)
(xc/programs/xdm/greeter/verify.c):
+ libkafs is in not needed for kerberos IV support (Matthieu Herrb)
+ explicit cast of NULL to void * in va_list (Matthieu Herrb).
+ Make xdm check the full password string (on Linux) for locked
accounts rather than just the first character (#5485, Mike Harris,
Nalin Dahyabhai).
Do you think any of the above might have caused the behavior you're seeing?
Can you still reproduce this problem with the xdm 4.2.1-11 package?
