Lock screen bypass bug

There's a lock screen bypass that requires physical access to your device to exploit. Can't be exploited remotely, so control who can touch your Ubuntu device and you'll be fine until Canonical release a patch.

"I am running Ubuntu 14.04 with all the packages updated.When the screen is locked with password, if I hold ENTER after some
seconds the screen freezes and the lock screen crashes. After that I
have the computer fully unlocked."

Checked after updating today and it didn't crash for me.

That bug was labeled as fixed on 4/17.
