Description

The Ubuntu Date and Time Indicator (aka indicator-datetime) 13.10.0+13.10.x before 13.10.0+13.10.20131023.2-0ubuntu1.1 does not properly restrict access to Evolution, which allows local users to bypass the greeter screen restrictions by clicking the date.

Solution(s)

  • ubuntu-upgrade-indicator-datetime

With Rapid7 live dashboards, I have a clear view of all the assets on my network, which ones can be exploited, and what I need to do in order to reduce the risk in my environment in real-time. No other tool gives us that kind of value and insight.
