Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-control-center
Nautilus normally uses gnome-thumbnail-font to provide font previews. Eg:
$ gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/thumbnailers/application@x-font-ttf/enable
true
$ gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/thumbnailers/application@x-font-ttf/command
gnome-thumbnail-font %u %o
If a flaw is discovered in a font library or Gnome and a user navigates
to a directory that has a malicious font file, gnome-tumbnail-font could
be used to execute arbitrary code, write out to files or leak
information. Providing an apparmor profile for gnome-thumbnail-font
would be a good step towards proactively protecting the user from this
sort of attack.
