paul Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 A problem with the way xscreensaver verifies user passwords was discovered by Alex Yamauchi. When a system is using remote authentication (i.e. LDAP) for logins, a local attacker able to cause a network outage on the system could cause xscreensaver to crash, which would unlock the screen. Updated packages have been patched to correct this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
