Description Vincent Danen 2013-03-08 22:16:07 UTC

Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures assigned an identifier CVE-2013-1050 to
the following vulnerability:

Name: CVE-2013-1050
URL: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2013-1050
Assigned: 20130111
Reference: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-screensaver/+bug/1120126
Reference: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=683060
Reference: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-screensaver/commit/?id=1940dc6bc8ad5ee2c029714efb1276c05ca80bd4
Reference: UBUNTU:USN-1716-1
Reference: http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/USN-1716-1

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.

Comment 1 Vincent Danen 2013-03-08 22:17:44 UTC

Statement:

Not vulnerable. This issue did not affect the versions of gnome-screensaver as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6.
