Debian Security Advisory DSA 3438-1 (xscreensaver - security update). XScreenSaver is a modular screen saver and locker for X11, containing more than 200 screen savers. It was discovered that unplugging one of the monitors in a multi-monitor setup can cause xscreensaver to crash. Someone with physical access to a machine could use this problem to bypass a locked session. We recommend that you upgrade your xscreensaver packages
