CVSS 3.1 (134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0)
4.3 MEDIUM — CVSS:3.1/AV:P/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L

Description

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."
