It was discovered that gnome-desktop incorrectly confined thumbnailers. If a user were tricked into downloading a malicious image file, a remote attacker could possibly combine this issue with another vulnerability to escape the sandbox and execute arbitrary code.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
