Related to bug 336331, another case is found which causes xscreensaver password dialog crash. This time a patch from upstream developer is applied and this release ‘really’ fixes this problem.
Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
