Category:	Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:	Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2007:097 (xscreensaver)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to xscreensaver announced via advisory MDKSA-2007:097. A problem with the way xscreensaver verifies user passwords was discovered by Alex Yamauchi. When a system is using remote authentication (i.e. LDAP) for logins, a local attacker able to cause a network outage on the system could cause xscreensaver to crash, which would unlock the screen. Updated packages have been patched to correct this issue. Affected: 2007.0, 2007.1, Corporate 3.0 Solution: To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=MDKSA-2007:097 Risk factor : Medium CVSS Score: 4.6
