gnome-shell vulnerabilities
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Summary:
Several security issues were fixed in GNOME Shell.
Software Description:
- gnome-shell: graphical shell for the GNOME desktop
Details:
It was discovered that GNOME Shell mishandled extensions that fail to
reload, possibly leading to extensions staying enabled on the lock screen.
An attacker could possibly use this issue to launch applications, view
sensitive information, or execute arbitrary commands. (CVE-2017-8288)
It was discovered that the GNOME Shell incorrectly handled certain
keyboard inputs. An attacker could possibly use this issue to invoke
keyboard shortcuts, and potentially other actions while the workstation
was locked. (CVE-2019-3820)
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

(CVE-2024-41009, CVE-2024-26677, CVE-2024-42160, CVE-2024-39494,
CVE-2024-39496, CVE-2024-38570, CVE-2024-27012, CVE-2024-42228)
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
linux-image-5.15.0-1073-azure-fde 5.15.0-1073.82~20.04.1.1
linux-image-azure-fde 5.15.0.1073.82~20.04.1.50
After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make
all the necessary changes.
ATTENTION: Due to an unavoidable ABI change the kernel updates have
been given a new version number, which requires you to recompile and
reinstall all third party kernel modules you might have installed.
Unless you manually uninstalled the standard kernel metapackages
(e.g. linux-generic, linux-generic-lts-RELEASE, linux-virtual,
linux-powerpc), a standard system upgrade will automatically perform
this as well.
