NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gdm3 package and not the gdm3 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

GNOME Display Manager (gdm) before 3.18.2 allows physically proximate attackers to bypass the lock screen by holding the Escape key.
