Advisory:
========================

Updated gnome-shell packages fix security vulnerability:

gnome-shell through 3.24.1 mishandles extensions that fail to reload, which can
lead to leaving extensions enabled in the lock screen. With these extensions, a
bystander could launch applications (but not interact with them), see
information from the extensions (e.g., what applications you have opened or
what music you were playing), or even execute arbitrary commands. It all
depends on what extensions a user has enabled. The problem is caused by lack of
exception handling in js/ui/extensionSystem.js (CVE-2017-8288).

A use-after-free flaw was found in the way gnome-shell handled mapping and
unmapping of tray icons. A malicious or misbehaving local application could
potentially use this flaw to crash the gnome-shell process (rhbz#1492007).

The gnome-shell package has been updated to 3.24.3 and patched to fix these
issues and other bugs.
