Description

It was discovered that the gnome-shell lock screen since version 3.15.91 did not properly restrict all contextual actions. An attacker with physical access to a locked workstation could invoke certain keyboard shortcuts, and potentially other actions.

Solution(s)

  • suse-upgrade-gnome-shell
  • suse-upgrade-gnome-shell-browser-plugin
  • suse-upgrade-gnome-shell-calendar
  • suse-upgrade-gnome-shell-devel
  • suse-upgrade-gnome-shell-lang
