Description:
A weakness has been reported in Sun Solaris, which can be exploited by malicious people with physical access to an affected system to potentially disclose sensitive information.
The weakness is caused due to an error in xscreensaver when the X Resize and Rotate (RandR) extension is loaded, which may allow to view parts of a locked screen if the screen has been resized.
NOTE: Only systems that use the Xorg X server (or Xnewt X server for Sun Ray servers) are affected.
The weakness is reported in Sun Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris for the SPARC and x86 platforms.
