Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated gdm packages that address various issues are now available.
Description
The GNOME Display Manager, gdm, is a highly configurable re-implementation
of xdm, the X Display Manager. It allows users to log into systems with the
X Window System running and supports running several simultaneous X
sessions on a local machine.
This updated gdm package addresses the following issues:
- The default language selection list should only show installed languages
- The Denmark English language selection choice was initiating an Ireland
English session
- Failed login attempts should be logged to the audit daemon
Users of gdm should upgrade to this updated package, which resolves these
issues.
Solution

errata relevant to your system have been applied. Use Red Hat
Network to download and update your packages. To launch the Red Hat
