Summary: switching between user accounts unsecure
Product: kde
Version: 4.5
Platform: openSUSE RPMs
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: crash
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
ReportedBy: yester64 at gmx.net
Version: 4.5 (using KDE 4.5.2)
OS: Linux
The problem is simple.
If i switch between two user accounts, at switch the previous screen on that
user account will be shown before entering a password.
In the best world it should be blank at all time till after entering the
password so that no one sees what data was entered at that screen.
I noticed this through all KDE versions and i wonder if it is intended or a
bug.
It is just a security concern and not a bug.
Would be nice to have a blank screen at switching between user accounts.
On a note, i use Nvidia drivers NVIDIA 260.19.12
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
It should be the same at any computer. So i am not sure how to reproduce this.
