Affected: AlmaLinux:8: gnome-shell

GNOME Shell acts as a compositing manager for the desktop, and displays both application windows and other objects. It provides core interface functions like switching windows, launching applications, and notifications. It takes advantage of the capabilities of modern graphics hardware and introduces innovative user interface concepts.

Security Fix(es):

* gnome-shell: code execution in portal helper (CVE-2024-36472)

For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

In GNOME Shell through 45.7, a portal helper can be launched automatically (without user confirmation) based on network responses provided by an adversary (e.g., an adversary who controls the local Wi-Fi network), and subsequently loads untrusted JavaScript code, which may lead to resource consumption or other impacts depending on the JavaScript code's behavior.

Affected: openEuler:24.03-LTS-SP1: gnome-shell

The GNOME Shell redefines user interactions with the GNOME desktop. In particular, it offers new paradigms for launching applications, accessing documents, and organizing open windows in GNOME. Later, it will introduce a new applets eco-system and offer new solutions for other desktop features, such as notifications and contacts management. The GNOME Shell is intended to replace functions handled by the GNOME Panel and by the window manager in previous versions of GNOME. The GNOME Shell has rich visual effects enabled by new graphical technologies. Security Fix(es):
