    CVE-2014-7300

    Summary: Updated gnome-shell and gnome-settings-daemon packages fix security vulnerability

    Details: The lock screen in gnome-shell does not disable taking screenshots via the Print Screen key, and several consecutive screenshot requests can trigger an out-of-memory situation, causing the lock screen to be killed, thus allowing it to be bypassed (CVE-2014-7300).
