<p> |
39 |
gnome-screensaver is a screensaver, designed to integrate with the |
40 |
Gnome desktop, that can replace xscreensaver. |

<p> |
45 |
gnome-screensaver incorrectly handles the results of the getpwuid() |
46 |
function in the file src/setuid.c when using directory servers (like |
47 |
NIS) during a network outage, a similar issue to GLSA 200705-14. |

<impact type="normal"> |
51 |
<p> |
52 |
A local user can crash gnome-xscreensaver by preventing network |
53 |
connectivity if the system uses a remote directory service for |
54 |
credentials such as NIS or LDAP, which will unlock the screen. |
55 |
</p> |
56 |
</impact> |
57 |
<workaround> |
58 |
<p> |
59 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
60 |
</p> |
61 |
</workaround> |
62 |
<resolution> |
63 |
<p> |
64 |
All gnome-screensaver users should upgrade to the latest version: |
65 |
</p> |
66 |
<code> |
67 |
# emerge --sync |
68 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=gnome-extra/gnome-screensaver-2.20.0-r3"</code> |
