The thing driving the display [1] is a wayland server named gnome-
shell. Due to accident of implementation there is also an X server
named Xwayland running as well. This CVE affects the X server named
Xorg.

[1] - Assuming you select "GNOME" from the little gear menu in gdm, as
opposed to "GNOME on Xorg".
