NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream telegram-desktop package and not the telegram-desktop package as distributed by Ubuntu.

Telegram Desktop through 2.1.13 allows a spoofed file type to bypass the Dangerous File Type Execution protection mechanism, as demonstrated by use of the chat window with a filename that lacks an extension.
