Mismatches in interpreting USB authorization policy between GNOME Settings
Daemon (GSD) through 46.0 and the Linux kernel’s underlying device matching
logic allow a physically proximate attacker to access some unintended Linux
kernel USB functionality, such as USB device-specific kernel modules and
filesystem implementations. NOTE: the GSD supplier indicates that
consideration of a mitigation for this within GSD would be in the context
of “a new feature, not a CVE.”

mdeslaur as of 2024-06-17, there is no fix from gnome-settings-daemon as they don’t believe that is the proper place to address this issue. Deferring this CVE for now.
