Description Petr Matousek 2013-02-15 11:58:15 EST

F2 on the lock screen will cause the UI to drop to a root shell. This means the screen is not really locked and an unprivileged user that has access to the console or the ssh session can elevate his privileges.

Acknowledgements:

This issue was discovered by Mike Burns of Red Hat.
