Ubuntu 14.04: security problem in the lock screen

728x90

affects ubuntu

Hello,
I am running Ubuntu 14.04 with all the packages updated.
When the screen is locked with password, if I hold ENTER after some
seconds the screen freezes and the lock screen crashes. After that I
have the computer fully unlocked.

This bug is about the lockscreen being bypassed when unity crashes/restarts, which is a critcal security issue. The crash will be handled from bug 1308750
