[Bug 1460626] Re: Unity Lockscreen still shows unlocked desktop while shutting down
This bug was fixed in the package unity - 7.2.6+14.04.20151021-0ubuntu1
---------------
unity (7.2.6+14.04.20151021-0ubuntu1) trusty; urgency=medium
* New upstream release
[ Andrea Azzarone ]
* Merge patch from https://launchpadlibrarian.net/216276242/low-gfx-
override.patch (LP: #1491913)
* Properly hide decorations when on "Show Desktop" mode. (LP: #1485073)
* Do not handle events coming from viewports not actually containing the window.
(LP: #1449654)
* Make sure new icons are added to the model before calling SortAndUpdate
(LP: #1458950)
* GnomeSessionManager: Do not allow shutdown when screen is locked. (LP: #1460626)

* When looking for the top-most valid window in a VP, also check if the window
is focused if the window is set to Always on Top. This allows Launcher icon
spread to work properly when a window is minimized an Always on Top exists in
the group. (LP: #1131385)
* Wait on Spread to be terminated before showing the Quicklist. (LP: #1441626)
* If dragging an application:// uri type from the Dash to the desktop, change it
to a file:// uri type so Nautilus can understand the type a make a copy of it
on the desktop. (LP: #1241972)
* Enable real page up/page down key navigation in the Dash. When using these
keys the view scrolls the length of the visible view. (LP: #913612)
* Save the active window when showing the Hud so the correct window is focused
when hiding the Hud. Fixes issue when "Always on Top" windows are present.
(LP: #1366583)
* Save the active window when showing the Dash so the correct window is focused
when hiding the Dash. Fixes issue when "Always on Top" windows are present.
(LP: #1446634)
* When using keyboard navigation in the Dash, skip category headers that are not
expandable. Also, do not highlight the category header when the mouse cursor
is over it. (LP: #1045933)
* Also use the Compiz show() method when forcing an unmapped window to be
visible when clicking on it's active Launcher icon. (LP: #989588)
* Add option to enable and disable Unity low graphics mode on the fly in ccsm or
via gsettings. (LP: #1412937)
* UScreen, PanelService: get monitor at position, ignoring pre-
multipled Gdk scale factor (LP: #1351591)
[ Marco Trevisan (Treviño) ]
* ResultViewGrid: wait for double-click event only if the relative result needs
the Preview (LP: #1291950)
* OverlayWindowButtons: trigger a queuedraw also when a child requires a redraw
(LP: #1461618)
* GnomeSessionManager: Request ScreenSaver (de)activation on VT changes (LP:

Bug description:
This was reported and supposedly fixed in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1370017, but the
bug is still present in the current Unity version in Trusty. I've
reported it in that bug already, but got ignored, so I'm opening a new
bug about it.
[Impact and Test Case]
Steps to reproduce:
1 - Log into Unity
2 - Open a terminal.
3 - Lock the screen
4 - From the lockscreen, tell the computer to shut down / restart
Expected behavior:
* Session programs are closed while the screen is still locked
* During shutdown, no user interaction is possible
Observed behavior:
* The lockscreen is gone immediately, with the rest of compiz (e.g. window decorations are not present)
* But it's possible to interact with programs that are still running in the session for about 3 seconds
Observed on an updated Trusty machine, running unity version
7.2.5+14.04.20150521.1-0ubuntu1
This bug is a security vulnerability because during those 3 seconds it
could be possible to access and interact with sensitive information.
Yes, it's short, but you could take a picture or even rm -rf / if
there happened to be a root console available.
=====
[Impact]
A lockscreen should hide the screen content no matter what. A the moment there is no easy way to provide a good shutdown experience if the screen is locked so it's better to disable it. Please note that you can still shut down the system if the screen is locked just switching to unity-greeter using "Swtich Account..." (it's safe in this case)
Needs to be backported to 14.04 LTS because can affect security.
[Test Case]
1 - Lock the screen
2 - Push the hw shutdown button.
3 - Make sure that there is no shutdown option in the end of session dialog.
1 - Lock the screen
2 - Open the session indicator
3 - Make sure there is no shutdown option in the drop down menu
[Regression Potential]
None.
