gdm (3.22.3), gnome-session (3.22.3).

Security Fix(es) :

  - It was found that gdm could crash due to a signal
    handler dispatched to an invalid conversation. An
    attacker could crash gdm by holding the escape key when
    the screen is locked, possibly bypassing the locked
    screen. (CVE-2015-7496)");
