Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions gnome-power-manager version 2.27.92

Description The issue is related to the improper implementation of the lock on suspend and lock on hibernate settings in gnome-power-manager, which might allow physically proximate attackers to access an unattended laptop via a resume action.
