Category:Red Hat Local Security Checks
Title:RedHat Security Advisory RHSA-2008:0485
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory RHSA-2008:0485.

Compiz is an OpenGL-based window and compositing manager.

Most screen savers create a top-level fullscreen window to cover the
desktop, and grab the input with that window. Compiz has an option to
un-redirect that window, but in some cases, this breaks the grab and
compromises the locked screen. (CVE-2007-3920)

Users of compiz are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
remove this option to resolve this issue.

Solution:
Please note that this update is available via
Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red
