AI-suggested

Currently, there is no available mitigation or official fix from Red Hat that meets their criteria for deployment and stability. Users should monitor Red Hat advisories for updates. Customers with Red Hat Technical Account Managers (TAM) may consult them for guidance. Avoid interacting with untrusted remote search providers or disable related functionality if possible until a fix is released.

Description

A flaw was found in GNOME Shell. When processing icons from a remote search provider via D-Bus, the system fails to validate the icon's declared dimensions against the actual data buffer size. A malicious or compromised remote search provider could exploit this by providing oversized icon dimensions, leading to an out-of-bounds read. This can cause the GNOME Shell process to crash, disrupting the user's session, and potentially disclose sensitive information from adjacent memory.
