CVE-2012-3452 describes a vulnerability in gnome-screensaver versions 3.4.x before 3.4.4 and 3.5.x before 3.5.4, where using multiple screens only locks the active display. This allows a physically proximate attacker to bypass the screen lock on unattended workstations by interacting with an unlocked secondary screen. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 3.3 (Low), indicating a local attack vector with medium complexity, potentially leading to partial confidentiality and integrity compromise. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage.
