Descriptions
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.
XScreenSaver versión 4.10, cuando está usando un servicio de directorio remoto para credenciales, no maneja apropiadamente los resultados de la función getpwuid en el archivo drivers/lock.c cuando no hay conectividad de red, lo que causa que XScreenSaver bloquee y desbloquee la pantalla y permita a usuarios locales omitir la autenticación.
