Unity before 7.2.1, as used in Ubuntu 14.04, does not properly handle keyboard shortcuts, which allows physically proximate attackers to bypass the lock screen and execute arbitrary commands, as demonstrated by right-clicking on the indicator bar and then pressing the ALT and F2 keys.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2014-3204 is a lock-screen bypass in Unity used by Ubuntu 14.04. A person with physical access to a locked machine could use keyboard shortcut handling to execute commands, undermining the assumption that the locked desktop protects the active session. Exposure is mainly Ubuntu 14.04 systems running Unity before 7.2.1, especially unattended desktops, shared workstations, kiosks, labs, and devices in semi-public spaces. Treat this as a targeted endpoint hardening issue, not an internet-scale emergency. Patch or retire exposed Ubuntu 14.04 Unity desktops, with priority on systems where physical access is plausible. Mitigation focus: Apply Ubuntu vendor updates referenced by USN-2184-1.; Ensure Unity is upgraded to 7.2.1 or later where applicable.; Prioritize shared, unattended, or physically exposed Ubuntu desktops..
