Comment 3 Nicolas Salguero 2024-09-18 15:19:11 CEST
Suggested advisory:
========================

The updated packages fix a security vulnerability:

In GNOME Shell through 45.7, a portal helper can be launched automatically (without user confirmation) based on network responses provided by an adversary (e.g., an adversary who controls the local Wi-Fi network), and subsequently loads untrusted JavaScript code, which may lead to resource consumption or other impacts depending on the JavaScript code's behavior. (CVE-2024-36472)

nothing in cinnamon for gnomeshell
Comment 9 Thomas Andrews 2024-09-25 17:26:12 CEST
Does anyone have a 32-bit Gnome system that could be tested? I realize they would not be commonplace.

If not, I will send this on as is.
