Subject: CVE Request - xlockmore 5.43 fixes a security flaw
Hello Kurt, vendors, et al.
xlockmore 5.43 released 2 days ago with a fix for a security
flaw related to potential NULL pointer dereferences when
authenticating via glibc 2.17+ crypt() and OSF/1 C2 security's
dispcrypt().
Under certain conditions the NULL pointers can trigger a crash
in xlockmore effectively bypassing the screen lock.
