Title:         Probably not present: possible root exploit
Ticket ID:     #670
Ticket URL:    http://bugs.pld-linux.org/?bug=670
Package:       xscreensaver-1:4.03-3
Distribution:  PLD-1.0.main
Category:      security problem
Current state: ignored
Text:

BTW: it seems that it wasn't actually problem with xscreensaver,
but Xlib (reported in #697 and fixed in last week);
exploitable only in some distros (not in PLD) because of
shipping xscreensaver suid root.
