Please use CVE-2022-1736 for the gnome-remote-desktop user service being
enabled on Ubuntu.

The Debian packaging, and derivatives of both Ubuntu and Debian, for
gnome-remote-desktop are probably very similar. The Debian policy
strongly encourages services to be running by default after
installation[1]. Ubuntu, however, strongly discourages open ports by
default[2].

So, while there may be identical code in the other distributions, this
may or may not be considered a vulnerability by the other distributions,
based on their own policies.

Thanks

     "The default behaviour is to enable autostarting your package’s daemon"

     "Default installations of Ubuntu must have no listening network services 
after initial install. Exceptions to this rule [enumerated exceptions elided]"
