Ludwig Nussel discovered that kdm, the X display manager for KDE, handles
access to the session type configuration file insecurely, which may lead
to the disclosure of arbitrary files through a symlink attack.
For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in
version 3.3.2-1sarge3.
For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 3.5.2-2.
