It was discovered that multitouch devices were not being disabled by the ‘xtrlock’ screen locking utility.
xtrlock did not block multitouch events so an attacker could still input and thus control various programs such as Chromium, etc. via so-called ‘multitouch’ events including pan scrolling, ‘pinch and zoom’ or even being able to provide regular mouse clicks by depressing the touchpad once and then clicking with a secondary finger.
For Debian 8 ‘Jessie’, this issue has been fixed in xtrlock version 2.6+deb8u1. However, this fix does not the situation where an attacker plugs in a multitouch device after the screen has been locked. For more information on this, please see :
https://bugs.debian.org/830726#115
We recommend that you upgrade your xtrlock packages pending a deeper fix.
