    Debian Security Advisory 5296-1

    Debian Linux Security Advisory 5296-1 - Robin Peraglie and Johannes Moritz discovered an argument injection bug in the xfce4-mime-helper component of xfce4-settings, which can be exploited using the xdg-open common tool.
    Since xdg-open is used by multiple standard applications for opening
    links, this bug could be exploited by an attacker to run arbitrary code on
    an user machine by providing a malicious PDF file with specifically
    crafted links.
