[More...]. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Gentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 201201-16 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - https://security.gentoo.org/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Severity: Normal Title: X.Org X Server/X Keyboard Configuration Database: Screen lock bypass Date: January 27, 2012 Bugs: #399347 ID: 201201-16 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Synopsis ======= A debugging functionality in the X.Org X Server that is bound to a hotkey by default can be used by local attackers to circumvent screen locking utilities. Background ========= The X Keyboard Configuration Database provides keyboard configuration for various X server implementations. Affected packages ================ ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 x11-misc/xkeyboard-config < 2.4.1-r3 > = 2.4.1-r3 ------------------------------------------------------------------- # Package 1 only applies to users of these architectures: amd64, arm, hppa, x86 Description ========== Starting with the =x11-base/xorg-server-1.11 package, the X.Org X Server again provides debugging functionality that can be used terminate an application that exclusively grabs mouse and keyboard input, like screen locking utilities. Gu1 reported that the X Keyboard Configuration Database maps this functionality by default to the Ctrl+Alt+Numpad * key combination. Impact ===== A physically proximate attacker couldexploit this vulnerability to gain access to a locked X session without providing the correct credentials. Workaround ========= Downgrade to any version of x11-base/xorg-server below x11-base/xorg-server-1.11: # emerge --oneshot --verbose " =x11-misc/xkeyboard-config-2.4.1-r3" NOTE: The X.Org X Server 1.11 was only stable on the AMD64, ARM, HPPA, and x86 architectures. Users of the stable branches of all other architectures are not affected and will be directly provided with a fixed X Keyboard Configuration Database version. References ========= [ 1 ] CVE-2012-0064 http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2012-0064 Availability =========== This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/201201-16 Concerns? ======== Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users' machines is of utmost importance to us.
