Title:
Security breach with CRTL+ALT+F7
Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
This problem concerns every versions of Ubuntu 18 (Desktop or LTS) :
When I lock my session with the padlock icon, I can open it with
CRTL+ALT+F7 without password.
This is the step to reproduce the problem:
- Install Ubuntu 18 (Desktop or LTS) with the default option.
The default windows manager is gnome
- Install lightdm => the opening window logging will be replaced by
the opening window logging of lightdm
- Open a session
- Lock the session with the padlock icon (in the right upper corner,
click on the down arrow and click on the padlock icon)
- The session seems lock because you can see the opening window
logging wich asks you the password but press on CRTL+ALT+F7 and you
can open the session without password.
