Description:
Debian has issued an update for xtrlock. This fixes a vulnerability, which can be exploited by a malicious person with physical access to a system to bypass certain security restrictions.
The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the handling of keyboard input. This can be exploited to crash the lock program and access the desktop by supplying an overly long string (holding down any key for 1 minute and then pressing enter).
