Package: xscreensaver-data
Version: 5.15-3
Severity: minor
Some hacks reveal the system's desktop, which is a potential security
issue. The xscreensaver package depends on xscreensaver-data, which
includes three hacks of this type: distort, ripples and slidescreen.
I'd suggest moving these from xscreensaver-data to -data-extra, as
they are enabled by default if a user installs the xscreensaver
package, and locking the screen could then provide a false sense of
security when it comes to information leak.
