gnomevfs -- unsafe URI handling

Description:

Alexander Larsson reports that some versions of gnome-vfs and MidnightCommander contain a number of `extfs' scripts that do not properly validate user input. If an attacker can cause her victim to process a specially-crafted URI, arbitrary commands can be executed with the privileges of the victim.
