This bug was fixed in the package lightdm - 1.15.1-0ubuntu1
---------------
lightdm (1.15.1-0ubuntu1) wily; urgency=medium
* New upstream release:
- Fix default X server command set to XMir in 1.15.0.
- Internally merge the [SeatDefaults] and [Seat:*] sections together. The
previous method meant configuration snippets using a mix of old and new
naming would not correctly override eachother.
- Use IP address of XDMCP requests to contact X server if available.
(LP: #1481561)
- Add an option for XDMCP and VNC servers to only listen on one address.
(LP: #1390808)
- Fix configuration file warnings so they go to the log, not stderr.
- Warn if deprecated options logind-load-seats or xdg-seat are in
configuration. (LP: #1468057)
- Improve IP addresses in XDMCP log messages.
- Fix typo in dm-tool man page. (LP: #1470587)

Bug description:
[Impact]
The XDMCP and VNC servers in LightDM allow connections on any network
interface. It is desirable for these to be limited to a particular interface to
limit who can connect (i.e. only allow local connections on 127.0.0.1).
[Test Case]
1. Enable the VNC server in LightDM in lightdm.conf:
[VNCServer]
enabled=true
listen-address=127.0.0.1
2. Start LightDM
With this setup you should only be able to make a local connection.
[Regression potential]
Low. If the option is not set LightDM has the old behaviour.
