COMMAND

    kdm

SYSTEMS AFFECTED

    Linux

PROBLEM

    Sascha Runschke posted following.  It seems that there is a bug in
    the login  procedure of  the kdm  environment.   If you  type your
    passwd  when  prompted  for  it  and  afterwards  try  to mark the
    invisible passwd with the mouse, it suddenly becomes visible.

    This may "not"  be dangerous, however  there might be  a situation
    where you cannot end your login-sequence and someone else is  able
    to access your station.  This bug was reported by as@ibm.net.
