2011-02-09 22:59:26 Jamie Strandboge description Binary package hint: gnome-control-center Nautilus normally uses gnome-thumbnail-font to provide font previews. Eg: $ gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/thumbnailers/application@x-font-ttf/enable true $ gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/thumbnailers/application@x-font-ttf/command gnome-thumbnail-font %u %o If a flaw is discovered in a font library or Gnome and a user navigates to a directory that has a malicious font file, gnome-tumbnail-font could be used to execute arbitrary code, write out to files or leak information. Providing an apparmor profile for gnome-thumbnail-font would be a good step towards proactively protecting the user from this sort of attack.

For images, nautilus uses gdk-pixbuf routines via gnome-desktop, but these can be altered to use evince-thumbnailer by installing schema files for these images.

For images, nautilus uses gdk-pixbuf routines via gnome-desktop, but these can be altered to use evince-thumbnailer by installing schema files for the various image mime-types and updating gnome-desktop to not fallback to gdk-pixbuf on thumbnail script error.
