CVE-2016-10894

xtrlock through 2.10 does not block multitouch events. Consequently, an attacker at a locked screen can send input to (and thus control) various programs such as Chromium via events such as pan scrolling, 'pinch and zoom' gestures, or even regular mouse clicks (by depressing the touchpad once and then clicking with a different finger).

For Debian 8 Jessie, these problems have been fixed in 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 (more info).

We recommend that you upgrade your xtrlock packages pending a deeper fix.
