Hello, Josh, Steve, vendors,it was found that xscreensaver terminated, when it was activated upon launch. A local proximate attacker could use this deficiency to access
resources, which should be otherwise protected by authentication. References: [1] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=627382 [2] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=703483 Could you allocate a CVE id for this? Thank you & Regards, Jan. -- Jan iankko Lieskovsky / Red Hat Security Response Team
