Race condition in workspace/krunner/lock/lockdlg.cc in the KRunner
lock module in kdebase in KDE SC 4.4.0 allows physically proximate
attackers to bypass KScreenSaver screen locking and access an
unattended workstation by pressing the Enter key at a certain time,
related to multiple forked processes.

Comment 2 Vincent Danen 2010-03-03 21:47:31 UTC
This issue affects all current Fedora versions, and Fedora rawhide, which all contain version 4.4.0.

This issue does not affect earlier versions of KDE.

Comment 3 Vincent Danen 2010-03-04 03:43:23 UTC
This has actually already been corrected:

* Thu Feb 11 2010 Than Ngo <than> - 4.4.0-4
- move xsession desktop files to main package
  (cannot start kde from gdm if kdm not installed)
- Desktop locking crashes (kde#217882#16)
