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.
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.
