Descriptions

gdk/gdkwindow.c in GTK+ before 2.18.5, as used in gnome-screensaver before 2.28.1, performs implicit paints on windows of type GDK_WINDOW_FOREIGN, which triggers an X error in certain circumstances and consequently allows physically proximate attackers to bypass screen locking and access an unattended workstation by pressing the Enter key many times.

gdk/gdkwindow.c en GTK+ anterior a v2.18.5, utilizada en gnome-screensaver anterior a v2.28.1, realiza pinturas implícitas en las ventanas de tipo GDK_WINDOW_FOREIGN, lo que lanza un error X en ciertas circunstancias y consecuentemente permite a atacantes próximos físicamente evitar el bloqueo de pantalla y acceder a un ordenador presionando la tecla Enter durante un cierto tiempo

This GLSA contains notification of vulnerabilities found in several Gentoo packages which have been fixed prior to January 1, 2011. The worst of these vulnerabilities could lead to local privilege escalation and remote code execution.
