Description

A security issue has been reported in Sun Solaris, which can potentially be exploited by malicious people with physical access to an affected system to disclose sensitive information.

The security issue is caused due to an unspecified error that can result in popup windows appearing through the lock screen and potential exposure of sensitive information.

NOTE: This affects only systems where the XScreenSaver program is used with the Xorg server or derivatives such as Xnewt(1M) from the Sun Ray software. This may also affect setups where the Xorg server is used remotely, therefore Solaris 8 and 9 may also be affected if they are used remotely to connect to another host that does contain the Xorg server.

The security issue is reported in X11 6.4.1 (for Solaris 8), Solaris 9, and Solaris 10 for both the SPARC and x86 platform.
