- When resuming a system, gnome-screensaver does not lock     external displays that got connected while the system     was suspended. (CVE-2010-0285)

  - Pressing the 'Return' key repeatedly caused an X error     that terminated gnome-screensaver. (CVE-2010-0732)

A vulnerability was discovered and fixed in gtk+2.0 :

gdk/gdkwindow.c in GTK+ before 2.18.5, as used in gnome-screensaver before 2.28.1, performs implicit paints on windows of type GDK_WINDOW_FOREIGN, which triggers an X error in certain circumstances and consequently allows physically proximate attackers to bypass screen locking and access an unattended workstation by pressing the Enter key many times (CVE-2010-0732).

Packages for 2008.0 and 2009.0 are provided as of the Extended Maintenance Program. Please visit this link to learn more:
