The method for bypassing the lock screen was documented in a handy video by the folks over at the Verge (above). It involves making -- and then immediately canceling -- an emergency call and holding down the power button a couple of times during the process.
By following the precise steps in the video, anyone can view and modify contacts, listen to your voicemail, and browse your photos (by attempting to add a photo to the accessible contact list). It doesn't appear as if the exploit grants access to email or the web.
AppleInsider was able to verify the glitch using an AT&T model iPhone 5 running iOS 6.1.
Coincidentally, a nearly identical vulnerability reared its ugly head back in October of 2010 when it was discovered that a glitch in iOS 4.1 similarly allowed anyone to access contacts, call history and voicemail on a passcode-locked handset without knowing the numeric entry code required to formally unlock the phone.
