Descriptions
Interaction error in xdg-open allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by sending a file with a dangerous MIME type but using a safe type that Firefox sends to xdg-open, which causes xdg-open to process the dangerous file type through automatic type detection, as demonstrated by overwriting the .desktop file.
Error de interacción en xdg-open permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código de su elección enviando un archivo con un tipo MIME peligroso pero utilizando un tipo seguro que Firefox envía a xdg-open, lo que provoca que xdg-open procese el archivo de tipo peligroso mediante una detección de tipo automática, como se demostró sobrescribiendo el archivo .desktop.
