Title:RHSA-2008:0485: compiz security update (Low)
Description:Compiz is an OpenGL-based window and compositing manager.

  • Most screen savers create a top-level fullscreen window to cover the desktop, and grab the input with that window. Compiz has an option to un-redirect that window, but in some cases, this breaks the grab and compromises the locked screen. (CVE-2007-3920)

    Users of compiz are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which remove this option to resolve this issue.
