-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2012-0712 2012-01-19 21:21:19 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : xkeyboard-config Product : Fedora 16 Version : 2.3 Release : 3.fc16 URL : http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/XKeyboardConfig Summary : X Keyboard Extension configuration data Description : This package contains configuration data used by the X Keyboard Extension (XKB), which allows selection of keyboard layouts when using a graphical interface. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: The previous version of xkeyboard-config included the key combinations to clear and/or kill grabs in the default keymap. This enabled users to get around screen locks that use grabs to prevent input to other applications (e.g. gnome-screensaver). This update moves the definition of the key combinations to a XKB option that must be explicitly enabled by the user. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Thu Jan 19 2012 Peter Hutterer <[email protected]> 2.3-3 - Move Ungrab and ClearGrab from the default layout to option grab:break_actions (#783044) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #783039 - CVE-2012-0064 xkeyboard-config: screen-saver unlock via xkb debug key actions https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=783039 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
