vicious-extensions/ve-misc.c in GNOME Display Manager (gdm) 2.20.x
before 2.20.11, when GDM debug is enabled, logs the user password when
it contains invalid UTF8 encoded characters, which might allow local
users to gain privileges by reading the information from syslog logs.


Statement:

This is not a vulnerability.  Red Hat Enterprise Linux does not have /var/log/messages world-readable, nor is GDM run in debug mode; both are requirements for this to be considered a flaw.
