CVE-2015-1308 kde-workspace: X11 clients can eavesdrop input events while screen is locked
The following issue was found in KDE workspace:
Overview
Plasma ScreenLocker deamon (ksld) as part of ksmserver grabs keyboard and mouse to ensure that no other X11 client is able to read the input while the screen is locked. All input events are sent from ksld to the greeter process showing the unlocking UI.
The vulnerability allows any X11 client (either locally or remote) to gain access to all input events entered while the screen is locked.
Impact
Any application having access to the X server is able to sniff the user's password. An application connected to the X server might be run by a different user or even be a remote application.
Workaround
To reduce the risk it's recommended to not
