Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: gnome-screensaver security update

Notes

Topic
An updated gnome-screensaver package that fixes a security flaw is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux FasTrack 5. This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.
Details
gnome-screensaver is the GNOME project's official screen saver program. A flaw was found in the way gnome-screensaver verified user passwords. When a system used a remote directory service for login credentials, a local attacker able to cause a network outage could cause gnome-screensaver to crash, unlocking the screen. (CVE-2008-0887) Users of gnome-screensaver should upgrade to this updated package, which contains a backported patch to correct this issue.
