CVE-2013-1050 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
The Debian security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Debian:9.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gnome-screensaver package and not the gnome-screensaver package as distributed by Debian.
The default configuration in gnome-screensaver 3.5.4 through 3.6.0 sets the AutostartCondition line to fallback mode in the .desktop file, which prevents the program from starting automatically after login and allows physically proximate attackers to bypass screen locking and access an unattended workstation.
