A locking protection bypass flaw was found in some versions of gnome-shell
as shipped within CentOS Stream 8, when the “Application menu” or “Window
list” GNOME extensions are enabled. This flaw allows a physical attacker
who has access to a locked system to kill existing applications and start
new ones as the locked user, even if the session is still locked.

Notes

Author Note
alexmurray This issue was specific to Centos 8 Stream, in particular as a result of the backport done in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1651378 so does not affect gnome-shell as packaged in Ubuntu
