Package: gnome-power-manager Version: 3.0.2-2 Severity: critical Justification: Introduces a new security hole Tags: fixed-upstream patch security
Hi,
the user can decide whether to lock his laptop on lid-close under
System Settings -> Screen -> Lock -> On/Off
which sets "org.gnome.desktop.screensaver.lock-enabled" (GSettings),
buth g-p-m still uses "/apps/gnome-screensaver/lock_enabled" (GConf):
This query always fails and the screen is not locked on lid-close. A
good workaround is to manually re-create the old configuration key:
gconftool-2 --type boolean --set /apps/gnome-screensaver/lock_enabled
true
This bug has been reported[0] and fixed upstream[1]. Please add this
patch in order to make laptops with GNOME 3 more secure.
Best regards
Alexander Kurtz
