Third post about this today. It's already been fixed.

> The code injection vulnerability resides in "gnome-exe-thumbnailer"

Creating thumbnails of .exe files is retarded

It's not even a GNOME's fault. This is bug in some shitty third-party tool.

Saged, keep trying Rajesh.

>>61476857
it's literally a third party plugin you autist

Interesting. This could be weaponized by delivering a file through a malicious website and the user could run code by just browsing to the Downloads folder.

>>61476857
Glad I switched back to Windows!

No package gnome-exe-thumbnailer available.

>GNOME Files takes the filename as an executable input
for fucks sake

Linux has flaws, windows is a flaw

/v/edditors think they're ebin trolling.

>>61476923
>which is not even part of gnome

>>61477790
only if you have this nifty tool developed by ubuntu

Is the GNOME Files thumbnailer even sandboxed in some way? k, it's 3rd party tool bug, but this is not the first thumbnailer bug out here...

>>61476936
What? Windows is blamed for literally everything

I don't blame Linux, I blame GNU/Linux.

openbox doesn't have this problem

>>61478033
openbox doesnt have a file manager

>>61478079
who needs one when you have cd/ls/cp/rm?

>>61476997
It doesnt matter whose fault it is. It's insecure.

"oh, I'm gonna use an insecure os because it's not their fault"

>>61476857
How could there be an expoit in the thumbnails if GTK/GNOME doesn't have any?

>>61478328
My thoughts,exactly.They probably meant to say KDE,instead of GNOME.

>>61476936
One thousand times this.

>>61476997
It doesn't even matter whose fault it is, the problem's already been fixed within a very short period of time after discovery. That's what matters.
