(If you have no clue what gdm is, skip a few paragraphs down first)
The 2.14.5 release is a stable release of GDM that fixes a security
related issue discovered in GDM 2.14.4 only. I recommend not using
GDM 2.14.4. Refer to bug details mentioned below for more information.
2.14.5 stuff:
- Explicitely adjust the effective GID before running the child session
program to avoid remaining with high privileges. Fixes bug #340347.
- Updated config/gettextfoo.h to reflect current strings for translation.
Fixes bug #340017. (Brian Cameron)
- Updated comments in GDM configuration files (Brian Cameron)
- Translation updates (Takeshi AIHANA, Josep Puigdemont Casamaj\303\263,
Artur Flinta, Priit Laes, Chao-Hsiung Liao, Lukas Novotny, Daniel
Nylander, Ignacio Casal Quinteiro, Francisco Javier F. Serrador,
Alexander Shopov, Funda Wang)
Note: GDM2 was originally written by Martin K. Petersen <mkp mkp net>.
Much work has been done on GDM2 by George Lebl, and Brian Cameron
currently shares maintainership duties with the Queen of England.
Note2: If installing from the tarball do note that make install
overwrites most of the setup files, all except gdm.conf. It will
however save backups with the .orig extension first.

No RPM this time around BTW. Have fun. A spec file is included though,
so you can try:
rpmbuild -ta gdm-whatever.tar.gz
Have fun,
