Vulnerability: Clutter Device Manager XI2 Disappeared Device Handling Allows Unauthorized Access
CVE-2013-2190 · LOW Severity
AV:L/AC:L/AU:N/C:P/I:N/A:N
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.
