How to fix?

Upgrade Echo:latest xorg-server to version 2:1.11.3.901-2 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream xorg-server package and not the xorg-server package as distributed by Echo. See How to fix? for Echo:latest relevant fixed versions and status.

xkeyboard-config before 2.5 in X.Org before 7.6 enables certain XKB debugging functions by default, which allows physically proximate attackers to bypass an X screen lock via keyboard combinations that break the input grab.
