GHSA-6G5M-97V8-HH8J

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-05-14 03:01 – Updated: 2022-05-14 03:01

Details

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.

Severity ?

8.1 (High)


                  
                    CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H
