Descriptions

An issue was discovered in Cinnamon 1.9.2 through 3.8.6. The cinnamon-settings-users.py GUI runs as root and allows configuration of (for example) other users' icon files in _on_face_browse_menuitem_activated and _on_face_menuitem_activated. These icon files are written to the respective user's $HOME/.face location. If an unprivileged user prepares a symlink pointing to an arbitrary location, then this location will be overwritten with the icon content.

Se ha descubierto un problema en Cinnamon, desde la versión 1.9.2 hasta la 3.8.6. La interfaz gráfica de usuario de cinnamon-settings-users-users.py se ejecuta como root y permite configurar (por ejemplo) los archivos de iconos de otros usuarios en _on_face_browse_menuitem_activated y _on_face_menuitem_activated. Estos archivos de iconos se escriben en el directorio $HOME/.face del usuario correspondiente. Si un usuario no privilegiado prepara un enlace symlink que apunta a una ubicación arbitraria, esta ubicación se sobrescribirá con el contenido del icono.
