Title:
Major security issue with light-locker - console switching gives
access to other screens for a few seconds
Status in light-locker package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
light-locker is completely insecure for X configurations with multiple
screens that are not using a single display.
My setup - 4 monitors, nvidia, each with separate screen.
If I lock screen and then control-alt-f7 back to X, only one single
screen is protected. After several seconds, it forces a switch to the
lock display, but in the mean time, the other three screens are
COMPLETELY UNPROTECTED.
It only takes a few seconds to launch a terminal and killall light-
locker and I have unrestricted access to all.
