CVE-2018-6791 medium priority: Ubuntu including 2 source packages (kde-workspace, plasma-workspace), 14 status rows across 7 suites (artful, bionic, cosmic, disco, trusty, upstream, xenial): DNE 7, not-affected 3, needs-triage 2, released 2.
An issue was discovered in soliduiserver/deviceserviceaction.cpp in KDE Plasma Workspace before 5.12.0. When a vfat thumbdrive that contains `` or $() in its volume label is plugged in and mounted through the device notifier, it's interpreted as a shell command, leading to a possibility of arbitrary command execution. An example of an offending volume label is "$(touch b)" -- this will create a file called b in the home folder.
