Description:
A weakness has been reported in Sun Solaris, which can be exploited by malicious people with physical access to the system to potentially bypass certain security restrictions.
The problem is that XScreenSaver allows certain pop-up windows to appear when the screen is locked and the accessibility
feature is enabled.
NOTE: The weakness was introduced in patches 120094-27 and 120095-27.
The weakness is reported in Solaris 10 for both the SPARC and x86 platforms.
