*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***
Public security bug reported:
GNOME 43 added a new Device Security feature in the Settings app.
You can access it in gnome-control-center 43~beta-1ubuntu1 by
1. Open the Settings app
2. Click Privacy then Device Security
The Security Events aren't clickable.
A default Ubuntu install only gets us "Security Level 1". The highest
level is "Security Level 3".
There isn't anything an Ubuntu user can do to get to a higher security
level from the Device Security screen.
If a user attempts to get their system to a higher security level, I
think they could break their system since this isn't something we
currently support.
Therefore, I think we ought to hide/disable the screen for Ubuntu 22.10.
We can work towards better integrating this screen for Ubuntu in future
releases.
I'm attaching several screenshots although it's worth trying out the
feature for yourself too.
