If a user is provided with a malformed .desktop file (e.g. if it's embedded into a downloaded archive and it gets opened in a file browser) arbitrary commands could get executed. This update removes this feature. For the oldstable distribution (stretch), this problem has been fixed in version 5.28.0-2+deb9u1. For the stable distribution (buster), this problem has been fixed in version 5.54.0-1+deb10u1. We recommend that you upgrade your kconfig packages.
