Descriptions
The default configuration in gnome-screensaver 3.5.4 through 3.6.0 sets the AutostartCondition line to fallback mode in the .desktop file, which prevents the program from starting automatically after login and allows physically proximate attackers to bypass screen locking and access an unattended workstation.
La configuración por defecto en gnome-screensaver v3.5.4 hasta v3.6.0 fija la opción AutostartCondition a modo de retorno en el archivo .Desktop, lo que impide que el programa se inicie automáticamente después de un inicio de sesión y permite a los atacantes físicamente próximos saltarse el bloqueo de pantalla y acceder a una estación de trabajo sin vigilancia.
It was discovered that gnome-screensaver did not start automatically after logging in. This may result in the screen not being automatically locked after the inactivity timeout is reached, permitting an attacker with physical access to gain access to an unlocked session.
