AV:L/AC:H/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C

xscreensaver (aka Gnome-XScreenSaver) in Sun Solaris 9 and 10, OpenSolaris snv109 through snv122, and X11 6.4.1 on Solaris 8 does not properly handle Accessibility support, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system hang) by locking the screen and then attempting to launch an Accessibility pop-up window, related to a regression in certain Solaris and OpenSolaris patches.

AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:N/A:N

XScreenSaver in Sun Solaris 9 and 10, OpenSolaris before snv120, and X11 6.4.1 for Solaris 8, when the Xorg or Xnewt server is used, allows physically proximate attackers to obtain sensitive information by reading popup windows, which are displayed even when the screen is locked, a different vulnerability than CVE-2009-1276.
