DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been discovered in Thunar, which potentially can
be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a format sting error within the
"thunar_transfer_job_copy_node()" function in
thunar/thunar-transfer-job.c when handling filenames containing
format specifiers. This can be exploited by e.g. tricking a user into
copying a malicious named file.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.3.0. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Fixed in the GIT repository.
