compiz-fusion-plugins-main stable update for CVE-2008-6514



Hi,

the following CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id was
published for compiz-fusion-plugins-main some time ago.


CVE-2008-6514[0]:
| The Expo plugin in Compiz Fusion 0.7.8 allows local users with
| physical access to drag the screen saver aside and access the locked
| desktop by using Expo mouse shortcuts, a related issue to
| CVE-2007-3920.


Unfortunately the vulnerability described above is not important enough
to get it fixed via regular security update in Debian stable. It does
not warrant a DSA.

However it would be nice if this could get fixed via a regular point update[1].
Please contact the release team for this.

This is an automatically generated mail, in case you are already working on an
upgrade this is of course pointless.
