There were issues (at least one issue I noticed) with xscreensaver and perhaps there are still issues when using an old LTS. IIRC each time I started a user session for Ubuntu Willy, xscreensaver complained to be outdated. I don't know if there were vulnerabilities, but it at least was that much outdated, that there appears a warning, each time a session was started. IIRC it disappears after the release upgrade to Xenial, at least the log files don't show any upgrades.
