Package: xscreensaver
Version: 5.11-1
Severity: grave
Tags: security
Justification: user security hole
xscreensaver ocasionally crashes leaving my desktop unlocked. I'm not
sure how to reproduce it other than just using xscreensaver normally
for like a week. I'm also not sure whether it happens while locking
the screen or shortly after. It's happened to me 4 times now, and
seems to be most common when I lock my screen and come back a few
minutes later, which seems to indicate it is something that happens
per screen locking rather than by the amount of time elapsed.
Anyways, after the previous crash I tried running it in a terminal so
I could see any output. Today it crashed again around 14:45. Here is
what it printed:
xscreensaver: 18:36:48: authentication via PAM timed out.
xscreensaver: 19:25:22: authentication via PAM timed out.
xscreensaver: 23:10:17: authentication via PAM timed out.
xscreensaver: 20:03:22: authentication via PAM timed out.
xscreensaver: 20:29:50: authentication via PAM timed out.
xscreensaver: 07:02:40: 0: child pid 16903 (<unknown>) exited abnormally (code
1).
XIO: fatal IO error 10 (No child processes) on X server ":0.0"
after 595760 requests (595736 known processed) with 1 events remaining.
I will try running it again with -sync (and try to remember to check
that it locks when I lock my screen). Is there anything else I should do
to figure out what's going on?
Thanks,
Ivan
