CVE-2013-7220

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions GNOME Shell (aka gnome-shell) versions prior to 3.8

Description The issue allows physically proximate attackers to execute arbitrary commands by leveraging an unattended workstation with the keyboard focus on the Activities search field in the js/ui/screenShield.js file.

Recommendations For versions prior to 3.8, consider disabling the screen shield functionality until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, restrict access to unattended workstations to minimize the risk of exploitation.
