Fedora 36: FEDORA-2023-bf0d719dda High: xdg-utils Command Injection

The xdg-utils package is a set of simple scripts that provide basic

desktop integration functions for any Free Desktop, such as Linux.

They are intended to provide a set of defacto standards.

This means that:

* Third party software developers can rely on these xdg-utils

for all of their simple integration needs.

* Developers of desktop environments can make sure that their

environments are well supported

* Distribution vendors can provide custom versions of these utilities

The following scripts are provided at this time:

* xdg-desktop-icon Install icons to the desktop

* xdg-desktop-menu Install desktop menu items

* xdg-email Send mail using the user's preferred e-mail composer

* xdg-icon-resource Install icon resources

* xdg-mime Query information about file type handling and

install descriptions for new file types

* xdg-open Open a file or URL in the user's preferred application

* xdg-screensaver Control the screensaver

* xdg-settings Get various settings from the desktop environment
