The Samsung Galaxy S3 lockscreen bug was discovered on the S3 GT-I9300 running Android 4.1.2 Jeally Bean by Sean McMillan, and the big will let the lockscreen be bypassed giving anyone access to your Samsung Galaxy S3.
You can check to see if your Samsung Galaxy S3 is vulnerable to the exploit by following the steps below.

Just after pressing the Home button, press the power button quickly
If successful, pressing the power button again will bring you to the S3′s home screen.
