In the xscreensaver package shipped with Red Hat Linux 6.0, certain security
checks were disabled that could result in a security vulnerability if the
screensaver was configured in a particular manner. While Red Hat Linux 6.0 does
not ship with such a configuration, it is recommended that users upgrade to the
fixed packages. Thanks to Jamie Zawinski for pointing this out.
