Details

It was discovered that the Expo plugin for Compiz did not correctly
restrict the screensaver window from being moved with the mouse. A local
attacker could use the mouse to move the screensaver off the screen and
gain access to the locked desktop session underneath. Default installs
of Ubuntu were not vulnerable as Expo does not come pre-configured with
mouse bindings.
