Description Doran Moppert 2019-01-25 05:52:45 UTC 
It was discovered that the gnome-shell lock screen since version 3.15.91 did not properly restrict all contextual actions.  An attacker with physical access to a locked workstation could invoke certain keyboard shortcuts, and potentially other actions.

This issue was introduced with the following ticket & commit:
