Descriptions

gnome-screensaver 2.28.x before 2.28.3 does not properly synchronize the state of screen locking and the unlock dialog in situations involving a change to the number of monitors, which allows physically proximate attackers to bypass screen locking and access an unattended workstation by connecting and disconnecting monitors multiple times, a related issue to CVE-2010-0414.

gnome-screensaver v2.28.x anterio a v2.28.3, no sincroniza adecuadamente el estado del bloqueo de pantalla ni del desbloqueo en situaciones que involucran un cambio en el número de monitores, lo que permite a atacantes próximos físicamente evitar el bloqueo de pantalla y acceder a un ordenador mediante la conexión y desconexión del monitor varias veces. Relacionada con el CVE-2010-0414.
