Unity before 7.2.1, as used in Ubuntu 14.04, does not properly restrict access to the Dash when the lock screen is active, which allows physically proximate attackers to bypass the lock screen and execute arbitrary commands, as demonstrated by pressing the SUPER key before the screen auto-locks.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a physical-access lock-screen bypass in Unity on Ubuntu 14.04. A nearby person could reach the Dash while the screen is locked and run commands. The business risk is concentrated on shared, unattended, or publicly accessible Ubuntu desktops rather than remote servers. Exposure is likely limited to Ubuntu 14.04 desktop systems using Unity before 7.2.1, especially where users rely on auto-lock and devices are physically reachable by others. Treat as a moderate endpoint hardening issue. It is not shown as remotely exploitable, but it can undermine workstation lock-screen trust where physical access is plausible. Mitigation focus: Apply Ubuntu guidance in USN-2184-1 for affected Unity packages.; Upgrade Unity to a fixed version, 7.2.1 or later, where applicable.; Restrict physical access to affected Ubuntu desktops until remediated..
