NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream indicator-datetime package and not the indicator-datetime package as distributed by Ubuntu.

The Ubuntu Date and Time Indicator (aka indicator-datetime) 13.10.0+13.10.x before 13.10.0+13.10.20131023.2-0ubuntu1.1 does not properly restrict access to Evolution, which allows local users to bypass the greeter screen restrictions by clicking the date.
