Title:
unity retains focus on virtualbox session when locked
Status in Unity:
Confirmed
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
While using virtualbox in fullscreen mode, CTRL + ALT + L, leaves
focus with the virtual machine. However this still locks the host's
unity session. This leaves all key events trapped in the virtual
machine, so typing in your password becomes impossible. After a reboot
all functionality returned.
This could be a potential security hazard, depending on the virtual
machine being used, as it allows arbitrary commands to be executed
through a locked unity session without any authentication.
