This flaw isn't as bad as the WMF flaw in Windows, but it is close. The WMF flaw was a flaw *by design*, as is this.

To me, it should be very apparent if an icon (that's what the user understands it to be) is going to run anything. We are just as vulnerable to malware delivered via social-engineering as Windows and any other operating system out there. This decreases that attack surface, and should be implemented.]]> Fri, 20 Feb 2009 09:51:10 +0000 Putting an executable flag on a .desktop file is simply wrong.

.desktop files could simply get a new miniicon overlayed - something like the windows shortcut arrow.]]> Fri, 20 Feb 2009 17:39:13 +0000
Why don't we just get rid of GDebi, then, too?]]> Fri, 20 Feb 2009 19:17:21 +0000 Fri, 20 Feb 2009 23:40:38 +0000 Sat, 21 Feb 2009 04:15:07 +0000
