There is also a race condition in handling of screenshots when recording. There is a blocking call in the service that might lead to a high-cpu load. This can be mitigated by lowering the sampling rate. Last but not least there is a vulnerability in the handling of external input devices. It is possible to open those devices from other applications with no restrictions.

How to Record Screenshots in Linux?

To record screenshots in Linux, you can use the following commands:
$ gnome-screenshot -i
This will take a screenshot of your current desktop and save it to the file /tmp/gnome-screenshot.png. To initiate recording from an external device (such as a webcam), you would need to open up a terminal and type in the following:
$ gnome-screenshot -r
