[Impact]

 * Prevents a user from use sudo or gksudo to view or change the owner
properties of folder not owned by root. In this case clamav

 * This also fixes the following upstream bug report which has not been
reported on launchpad: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=700492

 * The debdiff above applies a fix from upstream gnome git:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/nautilus/commit/?id=f7d1394a03e6d02cd5c67f9c85a142e33f14566f
but has been fixed in 3.14.2 of nautilus and is not present in vivid

[Test Case]

* Install gksu and clamav (sudo apt-get install gksu clamav)
* Run gksudo nautilus from the terminal
* Navigate to /var/lib and right-click on the folder clamav and click on 
Properties
* Nautilus crashes with a segfault in _IO_vfprintf_internal

[Regression Potential]

* Won't be able to view properties for both root and non-root accounts.
* Nautilus would crash at any attempt to view any property information of 
folder in the file system.
* Won't be able to save changes to properties that have changed.

[Other Info]
* I have tested the above potential regressions and unable to produce a crash.
