CVE-2020-16125

6.8 mediumEPSS 1.1%

Medium (6.8) in gnome gnome display manager. EPSS 1.1% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

gdm3 versions before 3.36.2 or 3.38.2 would start gnome-initial-setup if gdm3 can't contact the accountservice service via dbus in a timely manner; on Ubuntu (and potentially derivatives) this could be be chained with an additional issue that could allow a local user to create a new privileged account.
