Overview

CVE-2010-2532 is a high-severity vulnerability affecting opensuse opensuse. It was published on September 3, 2010 and has a CVSS 2.0 base score of 7.2 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 2.0 base score of 7.2, rated HIGH. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical description

lxsession-logout in lxsession in LXDE, as used on SUSE openSUSE 11.3 and other platforms, does not lock the screen when the Suspend or Hibernate button is pressed, which might make it easier for physically proximate attackers to access an unattended laptop via a resume action. NOTE: there is no general agreement that this is a vulnerability, because separate control over locking can be an equally secure, or more secure, behavior in some threat environments.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from opensuse. Update opensuse to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
