Summary

The GNOME Display Manager's build script for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 prior to version 2.16.0-56 lacks TCP Wrapper support, thereby potentially exposing systems to unauthorized remote access. This oversight may allow attackers to bypass intended access controls via XDMCP connections, leading to possible exploitation of the system's vulnerabilities.
