Package: xscreensaver Version: 4.24-5 Severity: grave Tags: security Justification: user security hole
Hi, I'm a bit new to this bugreporting stuff. I have however discovered that it is possible to kill xscreensaver with Alt+SysRq+F (if this function is not disabled). This may comprimise security when xscreensaver-command is used with the -lock option, because the screen will be unlocked. gnome-screensaver seems not to be vulnerable to this attack. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
