+ <p>
+ gnome-screensaver is a screensaver, designed to integrate with the
+ Gnome desktop, that can replace xscreensaver.
+ </p>

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ gnome-screensaver incorrectly handles the results of the getpwuid()
+ function in the file src/setuid.c when using directory servers (like
+ NIS) during a network outage, a similar issue to GLSA 200705-14.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A local user can crash gnome-xscreensaver by preventing network
+ connectivity if the system uses a remote directory service for
+ credentials such as NIS or LDAP, which will unlock the screen.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All gnome-screensaver users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=gnome-extra/gnome-screensaver-2.20.0-r3&quot;</code>
