DISPUTED 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.
