The GDM daemon in GNOME Display Manager (GDM) before 2.14.13, 2.16.x before 2.16.7, 2.18.x before 2.18.4, and 2.19.x before 2.19.5 does not properly handle NULL return values from the g_strsplit function, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (persistent daemon crash) via a crafted command to the daemon's socket, related to (1) gdm.c and (2) gdmconfig.c in daemon/, and (3) gdmconfig.c and (4) gdmflexiserver.c in gui/.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2007-3381 is a local denial-of-service issue in GNOME Display Manager. A local user could make the GDM daemon crash persistently, disrupting graphical logins. The source bundle does not show remote exploitation or confirmed active exploitation. Exposure is most likely on older Linux desktop or server installations using GDM from the affected 2.14, 2.16, 2.18, or 2.19 branches. Systems without GDM, or with vendor backports addressing this issue, are less likely exposed. Treat this as a moderate availability risk for legacy systems. It is not described as remote code execution, but it can disrupt login availability where untrusted local users exist. Mitigation focus: Upgrade GDM to 2.14.13, 2.16.7, 2.18.4, 2.19.5, or later as applicable.; Apply distribution security updates from vendors such as Gentoo, Red Hat, or Mandriva where relevant.; Check vendor advisories for backported fixes if package versions do not match upstream numbers..
