"An updated gnome-screensaver package that fixes a security flaw is now
available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the
Red Hat Security Response Team.

gnome-screensaver is the GNOME project's official screen saver
program.

A flaw was found in the way gnome-screensaver verified user passwords.
When a system used a remote directory service for login credentials, a
local attacker able to cause a network outage could cause
gnome-screensaver to crash, unlocking the screen. (CVE-2008-0887)

Users of gnome-screensaver should upgrade to this updated package,
which contains a backported patch to correct this issue."
