1 low-priority security issue in buster low

There is 1 open security issue in buster.

1 issue left for the package maintainer to handle:

CVE-2021-34557: (needs triaging) XScreenSaver 5.45 can be bypassed if the machine has more than ten disconnectable video outputs. A buffer overflow in update_screen_layout() allows an attacker to bypass the standard screen lock authentication mechanism by crashing XScreenSaver. The attacker must physically disconnect many video outputs.

You can find information about how to handle this issue in the security team's documentation.
