The remote host is missing an update for the 'gnome-screensaver' package(s) announced via the USN-1716-1 advisory. It was discovered that gnome-screensaver did not start automatically after logging in. This may result in the screen not being automatically locked after the inactivity timeout is reached, permitting an attacker with physical access to gain access to an unlocked session. Please install the updated package(s)
