Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions XScreenSaver versions prior to 5.34

Description The issue is related to a lack of proper internal consistency checks in the driver/subprocs.c file of XScreenSaver, allowing physically proximate attackers to bypass the lock screen. This can be achieved by hot swapping monitors, effectively exploiting the insufficient access control to certain functions.
