CVE-2010-0422

Publication date 24 February 2010

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

gnome-screensaver 2.28.x before 2.28.3 does not properly synchronize the state of screen locking and the unlock dialog in situations involving a change to the number of monitors, which allows physically proximate attackers to bypass screen locking and access an unattended workstation by connecting and disconnecting monitors multiple times, a related issue to CVE-2010-0414.
