Bug ID: 13737
Summary: Execute ELF shared objects on double click
Classification: Xfce Core
Product: Thunar
Version: 1.6.12
Hardware: PC (x86_64)
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Medium
Component: General
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]

Target Milestone: 1.8.0
Arch Linux recently changed their default toolchain flags to a more secure
combination [1]. Most likely because of this, executables are now recognized as
shared objects, e.g., output from "file":
a.out: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically
linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 2.6.32,
BuildID[sha1]=941b4da3c6b4b43727371ae88aa0b54f6d493487, not stripped
Thunar thinks the same, and after double-clicking an executable it asks which
program to use to open a shared object. Instead, Thunar should execute these
types of files just like regular executables.
Note: some ELF shared libraries actually are also runnable as executables, for
example, "/lib/libc.so.6" on a typical Linux system.
