CVE-2023-43090 2 Fedoraproject, Gnome 2 Fedora, Gnome-shell 2024-11-21 5.5 Medium
A vulnerability was found in GNOME Shell. GNOME Shell's lock screen allows an unauthenticated local user to view windows of the locked desktop session by using keyboard shortcuts to unlock the restricted functionality of the screenshot tool.
CVE-2021-3982 1 Gnome 1 Gnome-shell 2024-11-21 5.5 Medium
Linux distributions using CAP_SYS_NICE for gnome-shell may be exposed to a privilege escalation issue. An attacker, with low privilege permissions, may take advantage of the way CAP_SYS_NICE is currently implemented and eventually load code to increase its process scheduler priority leading to possible DoS of other services running in the same machine.
CVE-2021-20315 2 Centos, Gnome 2 Stream, Gnome-shell 2024-11-21 6.1 Medium
A locking protection bypass flaw was found in some versions of gnome-shell as shipped within CentOS Stream 8, when the "Application menu" or "Window list" GNOME extensions are enabled. This flaw allows a physical attacker who has access to a locked system to kill existing applications and start new ones as the locked user, even if the session is still locked.
CVE-2020-17489 5 Canonical, Debian, Gnome and 2 more 5 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Gnome-shell and 2 more 2024-11-21 4.3 Medium
An issue was discovered in certain configurations of GNOME gnome-shell through 3.36.4. When logging out of an account, the password box from the login dialog reappears with the password still visible. If the user had decided to have the password shown in cleartext at login time, it is then visible for a brief moment upon a logout. (If the password were never shown in cleartext, only the password length is revealed.)
CVE-2019-3820 4 Canonical, Gnome, Opensuse and 1 more 5 Ubuntu Linux, Gnome-shell, Leap and 2 more 2024-11-21 4.3 Medium
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.
CVE-2017-8288 1 Gnome 1 Gnome-shell 2024-11-21 N/A
gnome-shell 3.22 through 3.24.1 mishandles extensions that fail to reload, which can lead to leaving extensions enabled in the lock screen. With these extensions, a bystander could launch applications (but not interact with them), see information from the extensions (e.g., what applications you have opened or what music you were playing), or even execute arbitrary commands. It all depends on what extensions a user has enabled. The problem is caused by lack of exception handling in js/ui/extensionSystem.js.
CVE-2014-7300 2 Gnome, Redhat 6 Gnome-shell, Enterprise Linux, Enterprise Linux Desktop and 3 more 2024-11-21 N/A
GNOME Shell 3.14.x before 3.14.1, when the Screen Lock feature is used, does not limit the aggregate memory consumption of all active PrtSc requests, which allows physically proximate attackers to execute arbitrary commands on an unattended workstation by making many PrtSc requests and leveraging a temporary lock outage, and the resulting temporary shell availability, caused by the Linux kernel OOM killer.
CVE-2013-7221 1 Gnome 1 Gnome-shell 2024-11-21 N/A
The automatic screen lock functionality in GNOME Shell (aka gnome-shell) before 3.10 does not prevent access to the "Enter a Command" dialog, which allows physically proximate attackers to execute arbitrary commands by leveraging an unattended workstation.
CVE-2013-7220 1 Gnome 1 Gnome-shell 2024-11-21 N/A
js/ui/screenShield.js in GNOME Shell (aka gnome-shell) before 3.8 allows physically proximate attackers to execute arbitrary commands by leveraging an unattended workstation with the keyboard focus on the Activities search.
CVE-2012-4427 1 Gnome 1 Gnome-shell 2024-11-21 N/A
The gnome-shell plugin 3.4.1 in GNOME allows remote attackers to force the download and installation of arbitrary extensions from extensions.gnome.org via a crafted web page.
CVE-2010-4000 1 Gnome 1 Gnome-shell 2024-11-21 N/A
gnome-shell in GNOME Shell 2.31.5 places a zero-length directory name in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, which allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse shared library in the current working directory.
