CVE-2006-7240: Gnome Power Manager

High severity, CVSS 7.2. EPSS: 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

gnome-power-manager 2.14.0 does not properly implement the lock_on_suspend and lock_on_hibernate settings for locking the screen when the suspend or hibernate button is pressed, which might make it easier for physically proximate attackers to access an unattended laptop via a resume action, a related issue to CVE-2010-2532.
