What is CVE-2006-1057?

A vulnerability in the GDM (GNOME Display Manager) allows local users to exploit a race condition when the daemon executes chown and chgrp operations on the .ICEauthority file. By creating a symlink, an attacker can manipulate these operations to gain unauthorized privileges, potentially compromising system security. This issue affects versions of GDM prior to 2.14.1, necessitating immediate attention to apply the appropriate updates to mitigate such risks.
