%general-entities; ]> xdg-utils xdg-utils is a a set of command line tools that assist applications with a variety of desktop integration tasks. It is required for Linux Standards Base (LSB) conformance. A security vulnerability exists in all versions of xdg-utils from version 1.1.0rc1 when handling mailto: URIs. An attacker could potentially send a victim a URI that automatically attaches a sensitive file to a new email. If a victim user does not notice that an attachment was added and sends the email, this could result in sensitive information disclosure. To mitigate this flaw, either do not use mailto links at all, or always double-check in the user interface that there are no unwanted attachments before sending emails, especially when the email originates from clicking on a mailto link. &lfs101_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &xdg-utils-md5sum; Download size: &xdg-utils-size; Estimated disk space required: &xdg-utils-buildsize; Estimated build time: &xdg-utils-time; xdg-utils Dependencies Required with one of , , or W3m Required (runtime) Optional (runtime) User Notes: Compile xdg-utils with the following commands: ./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man && make The tests for the scripts must be made from an X-Window based session.
