The gnome-screensaver versions 2.14.3, 2.22.2, 2.27.x, 2.28.0, and 2.28.3 are vulnerable when the X configuration allows the extend screen option. This vulnerability enables attackers who are physically near an unattended workstation to bypass the screen locking mechanism. By connecting an external monitor, they can gain access to half of the GNOME desktop environment, potentially exposing any sensitive information displayed on the screen.
