driver/subprocs.c in XScreenSaver before 5.34 does not properly perform an internal consistency check, which allows physically proximate attackers to bypass the lock screen by hot swapping monitors.

Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle Solaris 9 allows local users to affect confidentiality and integrity via unknown vectors related to XScreenSaver.

sun

Trusted Extensions in Sun Solaris 10 interferes with the operation of the xscreensaver-demo command for the XScreenSaver application, which makes it easier for physically proximate attackers to access an unattended workstation for which the intended screen locking did not occur, related to the "restart daemon."

sun

XScreenSaver in Sun Solaris 10, when the accessibility feature is enabled, allows physically proximate attackers to obtain sensitive information by reading popup windows, which are displayed even when the screen is locked, a different vulnerability than CVE-2009-1276 and CVE-2009-2711.

sun

Unspecified vulnerability in xscreensaver in Sun Solaris 10, and OpenSolaris before snv_112, when Xorg or Xnewt is used and RandR is enabled, allows physically proximate attackers to read a locked screen via unknown vectors related to XRandR resize events.

sun

xscreensaver (aka Gnome-XScreenSaver) in Sun Solaris 10, and OpenSolaris snv_109 through snv_122, does not properly handle Trusted Extensions, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption and console hang) by locking the screen, related to a regression in certain Solaris and OpenSolaris patches.

sun

xscreensaver (aka Gnome-XScreenSaver) in Sun Solaris 9 and 10, OpenSolaris snv_109 through snv_122, and X11 6.4.1 on Solaris 8 does not properly handle Accessibility support, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system hang) by locking the screen and then attempting to launch an Accessibility pop-up window, related to a regression in certain Solaris and OpenSolaris patches.

sun · x.org

XScreenSaver in Sun Solaris 9 and 10, OpenSolaris before snv_120, and X11 6.4.1 for Solaris 8, when the Xorg or Xnewt server is used, allows physically proximate attackers to obtain sensitive information by reading popup windows, which are displayed even when the screen is locked, a different vulnerability than CVE-2009-1276.

sun · x.org

XScreenSaver in Sun Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris before snv_109, and Solaris 8 and 9 with GNOME 2.0 or 2.0.2, allows physically proximate attackers to obtain sensitive information by reading popup windows, which are displayed even when the screen is locked, as demonstrated by Thunderbird new-mail notifications.

gnome · sun

Unspecified vulnerability in xscreensaver in Sun Solaris 10 Java Desktop System (JDS), when using the GNOME On-Screen Keyboard (GOK), allows local users to bypass authentication via unknown vectors that cause the screen saver to crash.

sun

xscreensaver 5.03 and earlier, when running without xscreensaver-gl-extras (GL extras) installed, crashes when /usr/bin/xscreensaver-gl-helper does not exist and a user attempts to unlock the screen, which allows attackers with physical access to gain access to the locked session.

xscreensaver

GNOME XScreenSaver in Sun Solaris 8 and 9 before 20070417, when root is logged into the console, does not automatically lock the screen after a session has been inactive, which might allow physically proximate attackers to access the console.

sun

xscreensaver in Sun Solaris 10 before 20070604, when a GNOME session with Assistive Technology support is running, allows attackers with physical access to take control of the session after entering an Alt-Tab sequence.

sun

XScreenSaver 4.10, when using a remote directory service for credentials, does not properly handle the results from the getpwuid function in drivers/lock.c when there is no network connectivity, which causes XScreenSaver to crash and unlock the screen and allows local users to bypass authentication.

redhat · xscreensaver

pam_ldap in nss_ldap on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, Fedora Core 3 and earlier, and possibly other distributions does not return an error condition when an LDAP directory server responds with a PasswordPolicyResponse control response, which causes the pam_authenticate function to return a success code even if authentication has failed, as originally reported for xscreensaver.

fedoraproject · redhat · debian

rdesktop 1.3.1 with xscreensaver 4.14, and possibly other versions, when running on Fedora and possibly other platforms, does not release the keyboard focus when xscreensaver starts, which causes the password to be entered into the active window when the user unlocks the screen.

xscreensaver

Unspecified vulnerability in xscreensaver 4.12, and possibly other versions, allows attackers to cause xscreensaver to crash via unspecified vectors "while verifying the user-password."

Xscreensaver before 4.15 creates temporary files insecurely in (1) driver/passwd-kerberos.c, (2) driver/xscreensaver-getimage-video, (3) driver/xscreensaver.kss.in, and the (4) vidwhacker and (5) webcollage screensavers, which allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack.

xscreensaver

Xscreensaver 4.14 contains certain debugging code that should have been omitted, which causes Xscreensaver to create temporary files insecurely in the (1) apple2, (2) xanalogtv, and (3) pong screensavers, and allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack.
