Local privilege escalation vulnerability in xlock program may allow unauthorized root access.

Code
/*
source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/224/info
 
The xlock program is used to lock the local X display until the user supplies the correct password. A buffer overflow condition has been discovered in xlock that may allow an unauthorized user to gain root access.
