The GNOME Display Manager (GDM) versions 2.8, 2.12, 2.14, and 2.15 possess a vulnerability linked to the 'face browser' feature. This flaw permits a local user to manipulate the 'Configure Login Manager' functionality by using their own password instead of the required root password, consequently opening a path for privilege escalation. Such access may allow unauthorized configuration changes that compromise system security.
