Title:
Virtual Box gives the user a few seconds to do stuff before locking
Status in gnome-screensaver package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I had a Windows 10 image running on Virtual Box, and I restarted the
Windows 10 image on virtual box, and left the computer (host and
guest) alone. When I came back, my monitors were turned off (like, in
sleep mode) like they were in sleep mode. When I typed in a few keys
to get everything to wake up again, I was typing into my Windows 10
image my account password. But then, I moved my mouse over to the
other monitor (the host OS - Ubuntu Linux LTS 16.04), and started
doing stuff on my web browser (Google Chrome), a few seconds after,
the screen locked (almost like if the computer has a brain fart and
was like "oh shit, this was supposed to be locked. Let me fix my
mistake.") and I had to type in the password for the host operating
system.
Doesn't this mean that the user had a few unauthorized seconds to do
stuff on the host OS, before being locked out?
Hopefully I explained this well.
