Description: The issue allows local users to cause a denial of service, resulting in a persistent daemon crash. This can be achieved by sending a crafted command to the daemon's socket. The problem is related to the handling of NULL return values from the g strsplit function in files such as gdm.c, gdmconfig.c, and gdmflexiserver.c. The estimated number of potentially affected devices is not specified. There is no information about real-world incidents where this issue was exploited.
