From ${URL} : Clemens Fries reported that, when using Cinnamon, it was possible to bypass the screensaver lock: http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2014/q1/327 An attacker with physical access to the machine could use this flaw to take over the locked desktop session. A patch is currently not yet available. @maintainer(s): after the bump, in case we need to stabilize the package, please let us know if it is ready for the stabilization or not.
