Hi, The following vulnerability was published for cinnamon. CVE-2018-13054[0]: | 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. It requires admin intervention though, but still filling it as RC severity. If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
