Descriptions

The translate_hierarchy_event function in x11/clutter-device-manager-xi2.c in Clutter, when resuming the system, does not properly handle XIQueryDevice errors when a device has "disappeared," which causes the gnome-shell to crash and allows physically proximate attackers to access the previous gnome-shell session via unspecified vectors.

La función translate_hierarchy_event de x11/clutter-device-manager-xi2.c en nClutter, al reanudar el sistema, no maneja adecuadamente los errores XIQueryDevice cuando un dispositivo ha "desaparecido," lo que provoca el cuelgue de gnome-shell y permite físicamente a atacantes próximos el acceso a anteriores sesiones de gnome-shell a través de vectores sin especificar.

A security flaw was found in the way Clutter, an open source software library for creating rich graphical user interfaces, used to manage translation of hierarchy events in certain circumstances. Physically proximate attackers could use this flaw for example to obtain unauthorized access to gnome-shell session right after system resume.
