Advisory ID:       RHSA-2008:0485-02

Advisory URL:      https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2008-0485.html

=====================================================================

1. Summary:

Updated compiz packages that prevent Compiz from breaking screen saver
grabs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

This update has been rated as having low security impact by the Red Hat
Security Response Team.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64
RHEL Desktop Workstation (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64
RHEL Optional Productivity Applications (v. 5 server) - i386, x86_64

3. Description:

Compiz is an OpenGL-based window and compositing manager.

Most screen savers create a top-level fullscreen window to cover the
desktop, and grab the input with that window. Compiz has an option to
un-redirect that window, but in some cases, this breaks the grab and
compromises the locked screen. (CVE-2007-3920)

Users of compiz are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
remove this option to resolve this issue.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
