The X Keyboard Configuration Database provides keyboard configuration + for various X server implementations. +

+
+ +

Starting with the =x11-base/xorg-server-1.11 package, the X.Org X Server + again provides debugging functionality that can be used terminate an + application that exclusively grabs mouse and keyboard input, like screen + locking utilities. +

+ +

Gu1 reported that the X Keyboard Configuration Database maps this + functionality by default to the Ctrl+Alt+Numpad * key combination. +

+
+ +

A physically proximate attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain + access to a locked X session without providing the correct credentials. +

+

All xkeyboard-config users should upgrade to the latest version:

+ + + # emerge --sync + # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose + ">=x11-misc/xkeyboard-config-2.4.1-r3" + + +

NOTE: The X.Org X Server 1.11 was only stable on the AMD64, ARM, HPPA, + and x86 architectures. Users of the stable branches of all other + architectures are not affected and will be directly provided with a fixed + X Keyboard Configuration Database version. +
