Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.882839
Category:CentOS Local Security Checks
Title:CentOS Update for nautilus CESA-2018:0223 centos7
Summary:Check the version of nautilus
Description:Summary:
Check the version of nautilus

Vulnerability Insight:
Nautilus is the file manager and graphical
shell for the GNOME desktop.

Security Fix(es):

* An untrusted .desktop file with executable permission set could choose
its displayed name and icon, and execute commands without warning when
opened by the user. An attacker could use this flaw to trick a user into
opening a .desktop file disguised as a document, such as a PDF, and execute
arbitrary commands. (CVE-2017-14604)

Note: This update will change the behavior of Nautilus. Nautilus will now
prompt the user for confirmation when executing an untrusted .desktop file
for the first time, and then add it to the trusted file list. Desktop files
stored in the system directory, as specified by the XDG_DATA_DIRS
environment variable, are always considered trusted and executed without
prompt.

Affected Software/OS:
nautilus on CentOS 7

Solution:
Please Install the Updated Packages.

CVSS Score:
4.0
