Descriptions

gnome-power-manager 2.27.92 does not properly implement the lock_on_suspend and lock_on_hibernate settings for locking the screen when the suspend or hibernate button is pressed, which might make it easier for physically proximate attackers to access an unattended laptop via a resume action, a related issue to CVE-2010-2532. NOTE: this issue exists because of a regression that followed a gnome-power-manager fix a few years earlier.

gnome-power-manager v2.27.92 no implementa apropiadamente las características "lock_on_suspend" y "lock_on_hibernate" para bloquear la pantalla cuando se pulsa el botón de suspender o hibernar, lo que podría hacer más fácil para atacantes físicamente cercanos acceder a un portátil desatendido a través de una acción de reactivación del equipo ("resume action"), un fallo relacionado con CVE-2010-2532. NOTA: este fallo existe por una regresión que siguió a una corrección de gnome-power-manager hace unos años.
