CVE-2013-2190

CVSS v2.0

2.1

Low

VectorAV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Clutter (affected versions not specified)
Description The issue arises from the translate hierarchy event function in x11/clutter-device-manager-xi2.c, which fails to handle XIQueryDevice errors properly when a device has disappeared, particularly when resuming the system. This failure causes the gnome-shell to crash, potentially allowing physically proximate attackers to access the previous gnome-shell session.
Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
