In some cases, xscreensaver did not properly grab the keyboard when reading the password for unlocking the screen, so that the password was typed into the currently active application window.

The only known vulnerable case was when xscreensaver activated while an rdesktop session was currently active.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
