NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nautilus package and not the nautilus package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in Nautilus. When a removable drive or disk image is unmounted or ejected, Nautilus prompts the user to empty the trash without verifying whether the trash directory paths are symbolic links. An attacker can exploit this flaw by tricking a user into mounting a crafted storage volume and confirming the prompt to empty the trash, leading to the arbitrary deletion of files accessible to that user.
