*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***
Public security bug reported:
If the screen is locked with simple locker it will lock after 15
minutes, but when prompted for a password hitting any key will result in
the lock screen going away and the desktop revealed. Resulting in no
password needed to access the pc. I have waited the extra 60 seconds at
least, to make sure it locks. Suspend wakeup brings up the lock and it
works fine. User login requires password as normal.
Hardware:
-Lenovo T500 using intel or amd built in card (I've tested with both for giggles)
Software:
-Clean install of Kubuntu 13.04 with beta ppa enabled
-xorg-edgers enabled
-wine ppa enabled
-3.11 rc 2 kernel
