Title: Lockscreen indicators allow starting programs in the locked session Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: The indicators[1] in the new lockscreen allow starting associated programs like they would when the computer is unlocked. Steps to reproduce: * Lock the screen * Click on "Character Map" in the keyboard-layout indicator menu * Unlock the screen The character map is now open in the previously locked session. This should not be possible, indicators should not allow such actions when the screen is locked. This might even be a security vulnerability, as it is possible to crash the machine by starting multiple instances of the same program until it runs out of memory. I'm not sure if I should mark it as such, so I don't for now. [1] keyboard-layout and power; probably datetime too, but I couldn't test this as I don't have evolution installed ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: unity 7.1.2+14.04.20140311-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-17.37-generic 3.13.6 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-17-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.13.3-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 CompizPlugins: No value set for `/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins' CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Wed Mar 12 14:14:31 2014 InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-02-24 (16 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Alpha amd64 (20140223) SourcePackage: unity UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1291376/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~dx-packages Post to : dx-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~dx-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
