Details

Description:

unixsocket.c in lxterminal through 0.3.0 insecurely uses /tmp for a socket file, allowing a local user to cause a denial of service (preventing terminal launch), or possibly have other impact (bypassing terminal access control).

(copy-pasted from the CVE description)


Unfortunately, the LXDE project has not yet bothered to release a new version, though the following git commit seems to fix the CVE:

https://git.lxde.org/gitweb/?p=lxde/lxterminal.git;a=commit;h=f99163c6ff8b2f57c5f37b1ce5d62cf7450d4648

Would probably be easiest to just use upstream's git master until they push out a new release.
This task depends upon
