+  <synopsis>A debugging functionality in the X.Org X Server that is bound to a
+    hotkey by default can be used by local attackers to circumvent screen
+    locking utilities.

+    <p>The X Keyboard Configuration Database provides keyboard configuration
+      for various X server implementations.

+  <description>
+    <p>Starting with the =x11-base/xorg-server-1.11 package, the X.Org X Server
+      again provides debugging functionality that can be used terminate an
+      application that exclusively grabs mouse and keyboard input, like screen
+      locking utilities.
+    </p>
+    
+    <p>Gu1 reported that the X Keyboard Configuration Database maps this
+      functionality by default to the Ctrl+Alt+Numpad * key combination.

+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>A physically proximate attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain
+      access to a locked X session without providing the correct credentials.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>Downgrade to any version of x11-base/xorg-server below
+      x11-base/xorg-server-1.11:
+    </p>
+    
+    <code>
+      # emerge --oneshot --verbose "&lt;x11-base/xorg-server-1.11"
+    </code>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>All xkeyboard-config users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
+    
+    <code>
+      # emerge --sync
+      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose
+      "&gt;=x11-misc/xkeyboard-config-2.4.1-r3"
+    </code>
+    
+    <p>NOTE: The X.Org X Server 1.11 was only stable on the AMD64, ARM, HPPA,
+      and x86 architectures. Users of the stable branches of all other
+      architectures are not affected and will be directly provided with a fixed
+      X Keyboard Configuration Database version.
