Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.66904
Category:Fedora Local Security Checks
Title:Fedora Core 12 FEDORA-2010-1556 (gnome-screensaver)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:
The remote host is missing an update to gnome-screensaver
announced via advisory FEDORA-2010-1556.

Update Information:

gnome-screensaver currently doesn't deal with monitors getting removed
properly. If the unlock dialog is on the removed monitor then the unlock
dialog and its associated keyboard grab are not moved to an existing monitor
when the monitor removal is processed. This means that users can gain access to
the locked system by placing the mouse pointer on an external monitor and then
disconnect the external monitor.
