** Description changed: Binary package hint: nautilus TEST CASE: 1. Create a symlink to a file or folder, on which you normally are able change permissions. (touch ~/testfile && ln -s ~/testfile ~/testlink) 2. Copy the symlink to anywhere using Nautilus (ctrl+c && ctrl+v) 3. Check permissions of the symlinked file or folder Result: Symlinked file or folder permissions are changed to 777 (drwxrwxrwx user:user) Expected behaviour: Permissions of symlinked file folder should be unchanged - This does not allow setting permissions which your user could not do + NOTE: If testing different versions, nautilus needs to be restarted (including desktop), this easily done with: + killall nautilus && nautilus &disown + + This bug does not allow setting permissions which your user could not do with chmod anyway, and hence is not a privilege escalation issue.
