CVE-2012-0064 describes a vulnerability in xkeyboard-config versions prior to 2.5, affecting X.Org before 7.6. This flaw allows physically proximate attackers to bypass an X screen lock by using specific keyboard combinations that exploit default-enabled XKB debugging functions, breaking the input grab. With a CVSS score of 4.6 (AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P), it indicates a low-complexity attack requiring local access, potentially leading to partial confidentiality, integrity, and availability compromise. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage, suggesting it is not a widely targeted vulnerability.
