980111: CVE-2013-2190 clutter: Improper translation of hierarchy events (gnome-shell crash after system resume)

The MITRE CVE dictionary describes this issue as:

The translate_hierarchy_event function in x11/clutter-device-manager-xi2.c in Clutter, when resuming the system, does not properly handle XIQueryDevice errors when a device has "disappeared," which causes the gnome-shell to crash and allows physically proximate attackers to access the previous gnome-shell session via unspecified vectors.
