NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gnome-shell-browser-plugin package and not the gnome-shell-browser-plugin package as distributed by SLES.

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.
