Work-around solution to : Apple Mac OS X Screen Saver Password Prompt Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

[Rishi Pande <rpande () vt edu>]

Hello,
	With regards to the above vulnerability, I tested 3 Machines (1: G4 
450 & 2: Dual G4 1.2G) They all had the mentioned screen saver 
vulnerability.
	However, a work-around solution is if you use "Key-chain access" and 
lock screen instead of using the "hot-spot" method. The end effects are 
the same using both but the buffer overflow is avoided using the former 
method.
                Hope this helps.
                                                        Regards,
                                                        Rishi Pande

P.S. To get to Key Chain -
Desktop->Hard Drive->Applications->Utilities->Key-chain 
access->View->Show Status in MenuBar->Lock Screen
