50.2

  • Fixed path traversal vulnerability where a compromised greeter could load arbitrary .desktop files via SelectSession, potentially executing attacker-controlled commands as the authenticated user.
  • Fixed autologin bypass where a compromised greeter could request autologin for any local account by sending arbitrary usernames via BeginAutoLogin.
  • Fixed denial of service where an invalid session name from the greeter would cause the entire daemon to exit, terminating all active sessions.
  • Fixed passphrase handling in pam_gdm to wipe cached plaintext passwords before freeing and to bound the keyring buffer walk preventing out-of-bounds reads.
  • Fixed crashes, memory leaks and wrong hash key type in reauthentication channel handler, session worker and dynamic user store,
  • Translation updates
