The vulnerability is reported to present itself when Nautilus attempts to delete a malicious directory and that directory is later operated on in the "Trash" folder. An attacker who has some degree of interactive access to an affected system may attempt to exploit this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the user who is invoking Nautilus file manager.
