  <description>
    <p>A Denial of Service flaw was found in the way Xlockmore performed 
      the passing of arguments to the underlying localtime() call, when the
      ‘dlock’ mode was used.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>A local attacker could possibly cause a Denial of Service condition and
      potentially obtain unauthorized access to the graphical session,
      previously locked by another user.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>All Xlockmore users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
    
    <code>
      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=x11-misc/xlockmore-5.43"
    </code>
