kde-workspace 4.2.0 and plasma-workspace before 5.1.95 allows remote
attackers to obtain input events, and consequently obtain passwords, by
leveraging access to the X server when the screen is locked.

mdeslaur | under X, apps can pretty much sniff input events anyway |
tsimonq2 | The only release that is affected by this is Trusty, and upstream recommends against backporting a fix (it’s low priority anyways) Reference: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1183710#c5 |
