Description Jan Lieskovsky 2010-09-12 09:58:51 UTC
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures assigned an identifier CVE-2006-7240 to
the following vulnerability:

gnome-power-manager 2.14.0 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.

Unless the admin has set /apps/gnome-power-manager/lock/use_screensaver_settings to FALSE, it uses the screensaver settings. That's not a bug surely?

Comment 3 Huzaifa S. Sidhpurwala 2010-09-15 04:25:36 UTC
I think the ubuntu bug is referring to the scenario where use_screensaver_settings is set to FALSE, which results in gnome-power-manager not locking the screen.

Comment 9 Huzaifa S. Sidhpurwala 2010-09-17 14:09:52 UTC
This issue did not affect the versions of the gnome-power-manager packages, as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
