CVE-2020-17489:
An issue was discovered in certain configurations of GNOME gnome-shell through 3.36.4. When logging out of
an account, the password box from the login dialog reappears with the password still visible. If the user
had decided to have the password shown in cleartext at login time, it is then visible for a brief moment
upon a logout. (If the password were never shown in cleartext, only the password length is revealed.)
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Alibaba Cloud Linux security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
