Synopsis: Moderate: nautilus security update Advisory ID: SLSA-2018:0223-1 Issue Date: 2018-01-25 CVE Numbers: CVE-2017-14604 -- Security Fix(es): * An untrusted .desktop file with executable permission set could choose its displayed name and icon, and execute commands without warning when opened by the user. An attacker could use this flaw to trick a user into opening a .desktop file disguised as a document, such as a PDF, and execute arbitrary commands. (CVE-2017-14604) Note: This update will change the behavior of Nautilus.

An attacker can craft a .desktop file intended to run malicious commands but displayed as a innocuous document file in Nautilus. An user would then trust it and open the file, and Nautilus would in turn execute the malicious content. Nautilus protection of only trusting .desktop files with executable permission can be bypassed by shipping the .desktop file inside a tarball. For the oldstable distribution (jessie), this problem has not been fixed yet. For the stable distribution (stretch), this problem has been fixed in version 3.22.3-1+deb9u1. For the testing distribution (buster), this problem has been fixed in version 3.26.0-1. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 3.26.0-1.
