Gnome · Gnome Display Manager · CVE-2010-2387
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
GNOME Display Manager versions 2.20.x through 2.20.10
**Description**
The issue allows local users to potentially gain privileges by reading information from syslog logs when GDM debug is enabled and the user password contains invalid UTF8 encoded characters.
**Recommendations**
For GNOME Display Manager versions 2.20.x through 2.20.10, update to version 2.20.11 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling GDM debug to minimize the risk of exploitation. Restrict access to syslog logs to prevent unauthorized users from reading the sensitive information.
