slock called crypt(3) and used the return value for strcmp(3) without checking to see if the return value of crypt(3) was a NULL pointer. If the hash returned by (getspnam()->sp_pwdp) was invalid, crypt(3) would return NULL and set errno to EINVAL. This would cause slock to segfault which leaves the machine unprotected.

For Debian 7 Wheezy, this issue has been fixed in suckless-tools version 38-2+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your suckless-tools packages.");
