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!
