Subject: CVE Request: lightdm
Could we please get a CVE assigned to the following issue:
lightdm leaks file descriptors to child processes. A local attacker can use this to bypass
intended permissions and write to the log file, cause a denial of service, or possibly
have another unknown impact.
Bug:

Thanks,
Marc.
