CVE-2018-13054: 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.
Please fix it.
Standards version of the package is outdated.
wishlist
The package should be updated to follow the last version of Debian Policy
(Standards-Version 4.5.0 instead of
4.1.4).
