NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream unity package and not the unity package as distributed by Ubuntu.
Unity before 7.2.3 and 7.3.x before 7.3.1, as used in Ubuntu, does not properly take focus of the keyboard when switching to the lock screen, which allows physically proximate attackers to bypass the lock screen by (1) leveraging a machine that had text selected when locking or (2) resuming from a suspension.
