Package : cinnamon
Version : 2.2.16-5+deb8u1
CVE ID : CVE-2018-13054
Debian Bug : #903201

It was discovered that there was a symlink attack in the Cinnamon
desktop environment.

An attacker could overwrite an arbitrary file on the filesystem via
a $HOME/.face icon file (as the cinnamon-settings-users.py GUI runs
as root).

For Debian 8 "Jessie", this issue has been fixed in cinnamon version
2.2.16-5+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your cinnamon packages.

Regards,
