gnome screensaver before 2.14, when running on an X server with AllowDeactivateGrabs and AllowClosedownGrabs enabled, allows attackers with physical access to cause the screensaver to crash and access the session via the Ctl+Alt+Keypad-Multiply keyboard sequence, which removes the grab from gnome.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a lock-screen bypass in old GNOME screensaver versions. On systems using an X server configured to allow grab deactivation and closedown, someone with physical access could crash or bypass the screensaver and reach the logged-in session. The risk is mainly to unattended workstations or shared physical environments. Exposure is most likely on legacy Linux desktop systems running GNOME screensaver before 2.14 on X11 with the named grab-control options enabled. Modern systems, non-GNOME desktops, or systems without those X server settings are not established as affected by the provided sources. Treat this as a legacy endpoint and physical-security issue, not an internet-scale emergency. Prioritize if the organization still operates old GNOME/X11 workstations in shared spaces or sensitive environments. Otherwise, document it as low residual risk after confirming no affected legacy systems remain. Mitigation focus: Upgrade GNOME screensaver to version 2.14 or later where applicable.; Disable AllowDeactivateGrabs and AllowClosedownGrabs unless operationally required.; Check Linux distribution advisories for backported fixes on legacy packages..
