2014-09-16 13:08:50 Margarita Manterola description Hi, Steps to reproduce: 1 - Have at least one process that takes a long time to shutdown 2 - Lock the screen 3 - From the lockscreen, tell the computer to shut down Expected behavior: * Session programs are closed while the screen is still locked * During shutdown, no user interaction is possible Observed behavior: * The lockscreen is gone immediately, allowing access to session programs that are still running * This continues until the shutdown of other processes is done. Observed on an updated Trusty machine, running unity version 7.2.2+14.04.20140714-0ubuntu1.1 I consider this bug a security vulnerability because depending on the time it takes to shut down the machine, it might allow access and interaction with sensitive information. Hi, Steps to reproduce: 1 - Lock the screen 2 - From the lockscreen, tell the computer to shut down / restart Expected behavior: * Session programs are closed while the screen is still locked * During shutdown, no user interaction is possible Observed behavior: * The lockscreen is gone immediately, with the rest of compiz (e.g. window decorations are not present) * But it's possible to interact with programs that are still running in the session for about 3 seconds Observed on an updated Trusty machine, running unity version 7.2.2+14.04.20140714-0ubuntu1.1 I consider this bug a security vulnerability because depending on the time it takes to shut down the machine, it might allow access and interaction with sensitive information. Yes, it's short, but you could take a picture or even rm -rf / if there happened to be a root console available.

Yes, it's short, but you could take a picture or even rm -rf / if there happened to be a root console available. [Impact and Test Case] Steps to reproduce: 1 - Lock the screen 2 - From the lockscreen, tell the computer to shut down / restart Expected behavior: * Session programs are closed while the screen is still locked * During shutdown, no user interaction is possible Observed behavior: * The lockscreen is gone immediately, with the rest of compiz (e.g. window decorations are not present) * But it's possible to interact with programs that are still running in the session for about 3 seconds Observed on an updated Trusty machine, running unity version 7.2.2+14.04.20140714-0ubuntu1.1 I consider this bug a security vulnerability because during those 3 seconds it could be possible to access and interact with sensitive information. Yes, it's short, but you could take a picture or even rm -rf / if there happened to be a root console available. [Regression Potential] An improper implementation of the fix for this issue could result in an indefinite hang during system shutdown, or could result in the problem not being completely fixed and the security vulnerability continuing. Neither appear to be the case. [ Other Info ] The Ubuntu 14.04 LTS SRU has been cherry-picked from upstream Unity where it has been in development-level production code in Ubuntu 'Vivid Vervet' development release for a few months and has not display additional problems.
