Package: xscreensaver
Version: 6.02+dfsg1-2
Severity: normal

I observed the following:

euler:~ $ xscreensaver -no-splash
xscreensaver-auth: 17:48:30: OOM: /proc/7427/oom_score_adj: Permission denied
xscreensaver-auth: 17:48:30:   To prevent the kernel from randomly unlocking
xscreensaver-auth: 17:48:30:   your screen via the out-of-memory killer,
xscreensaver-auth: 17:48:30:   "xscreensaver-auth" must be setuid root.

And:

euler:~ $ ls -l /usr/libexec/xscreensaver/xscreensaver-auth 
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 308168 Jan 15 15:40 
/usr/libexec/xscreensaver/xscreensaver-auth

So perhaps this should be setuid root?

Best wishes,

   Julian
