CVE-2013-1050

Description

From CVE.org

The default configuration in gnome-screensaver 3.5.4 through 3.6.0 sets the AutostartCondition line to fallback mode in the .desktop file, which prevents the program from starting automatically after login and allows physically proximate attackers to bypass screen locking and access an unattended workstation.

Statement

Not vulnerable. This issue did not affect the versions of gnome-screensaver as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6.

Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details

Info alert:Important note

CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).

The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.
