(Get the code!)
Binary package hint: nautilus
TEST CASE:
1. Launch nautilus
2. Copy user directory to other location (e.g. /tmp)
3. Skip "special files" which cannot be copied (nautilus pop-up dialogues)
4. Check permissions of user's folder
Result: user directory permissions is changed to 777 (drwxrwxrwx user:user)
Expected behaviour: user directory permissions should be unchanged (755, drwxr-xr-x user:user)
(To revert, simply use "chmod 755 ~")
Another side-effect of this is that on startup, gnome(?) gives an error about the .drmc file and permissions (although it does only complain at that file not being 644 [which it IS])
I'm flagging this as a security vulnerability since this allows unwanted write access to user's directory.
