The KDE Display Manager (KDM) can be exploited to allow users to log in without a password. This would give users the ability to log in as other users or even root.

The KDE project is postponing the release of version 4 of its free desktop environment by two months. According to the latest announcements, KDE 4.0.0 will not be appearing until December 20, 2007.
