KDM in KDE 3.1.3 and earlier uses a weak session cookie generation algorithm that does not provide 128 bits of entropy, which allows attackers to guess session cookies via brute force methods and gain access to the user session.

Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.75%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
