Title:RHSA-2007:0322: xscreensaver security update (Moderate)
Description:XScreenSaver is a collection of screensavers.

  • Alex Yamauchi discovered a flaw in the way XScreenSaver verifies user passwords. When a system is using a remote directory service for login credentials, a local attacker may be able to cause a network outage causing XScreenSaver to crash, unlocking the screen. (CVE-2007-1859)

    Users of XScreenSaver should upgrade to this updated package, which contains a backported patch to correct this issue.
