So what's up with this security issue? I've reported it to mate-desktop and they says that it is up to Ubuntu maintainers to release fixed version. https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-screensaver/issues/180 It is a critical security issue and I had to switch to different window manager on my work laptop because this issue places my work laptop and thus my employer at risk. Require update for Ubuntu 18.04 ASAP!
