CVE-2006-2933
kdesktop_lock in kdebase before 3.1.3-5.11 for KDE in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 3 does not properly terminate, which can prevent the screensaver from activating or prevent users from manually locking the desktop.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.40%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
