This only occurs if the XDMCP server is enabled. [Test Case] 1. Enable XDMCP in lightdm.conf: [XDMCPServer] enabled=true 2. Start LightDM 3. Send an XDMCP Request without an empty addresses field (valid XDMCP servers do not send this). Expected result: The request is ignored. Observed result: LightDM crashes.
