gdm: screen lock bypass

Package(s):gdm CVE #(s):
Created:March 19, 2015 Updated:March 25, 2015
Description: From the SUSE bugzilla entry:

Using the latest openSUSE Factory snapshot (also present in openSUSE 13.2 RC1) GNOME automatically unlocks if fprintd is present

The user never gets asked for a password
The user never has an opportunity to enter their fingerprint

journal shows fprintd starting each time the lock screen is activated, but no errors or warnings to imply it's misbehaving

Removing fprintd 'resolves' the issue but disables fingerprint authentication

Alerts:
openSUSE openSUSE-SU-2015:0527-1 gdm 2015-03-18
