SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA30715

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/30715/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Security Bypass, Exposure of sensitive information, Privilege
escalation, DoS

WHERE:
Local system

OPERATING SYSTEM:
openSUSE 10.2
http://secunia.com/product/13375/
openSUSE 10.3
http://secunia.com/product/16124/
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9
http://secunia.com/product/4118/
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10
http://secunia.com/product/12192/

SOFTWARE:
Novell Open Enterprise Server 1.x
http://secunia.com/product/4664/

DESCRIPTION:
SUSE has issued an update for xorg-x11 and XFree86. This fixes a
security issue and some vulnerabilities, which can be exploited by
malicious people with physical access to a system to bypass certain
security restrictions and by malicious local users to cause a DoS
(Denial of Service), disclose potentially sensitive information, or
to gain escalated privileges.

For more information:
SA30627

The security issue is caused due to Compiz potentially grabbing the
input focus. This can be exploited to bypass and disable the screen
locking feature.

SOLUTION:
Apply updated packages.
