What is CVE-2014-7300?

The vulnerability in GNOME Shell versions prior to 3.14.1 allows an attacker to exploit the Screen Lock feature. When multiple print screen requests are initiated, the feature does not restrict the total memory usage. This condition can trigger an out-of-memory (OOM) situation leading to a temporary lapse in screen lock security. As a result, an unauthorized user in close proximity can execute arbitrary commands on the unattended system, compromising the integrity and security of the device.
