CVE-2014-7300
Fixed in a distro release EPSS <1%
GNOME Shell 3.14.x before 3.14.1, when the Screen Lock feature is used, does not limit the aggregate memory consumption of all active PrtSc requests, which allows physically proximate attackers to execute arbitrary commands on an unattended workstation by making many PrtSc requests and leveraging a temporary lock outage, and the resulting temporary shell availability, caused by the Linux kernel OOM killer.
Products: gnome-shell, redhat enterprise_linux_desktop, redhat enterprise_linux_hpc_node, redhat enterprise_linux_server, redhat enterprise_linux_workstation
