Synopsis:	Low: compiz security update
Issue date:	2008-05-21
CVE Names:	CVE-2007-3920

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)
