[X2Go-Dev] Bug#334: Don't allow users to override X2Go commands via ~/bin (or similar)

[Mike Gabriel]

Package: x2goclient
Severity: important

In X2Go it is currently possible to replace every command in X2Go  
Server by a command of the same name in ~/bin.

An attacker could use this to infiltrate X2Go Client with arbitrary data.

IMHO, we should make sure, X2Go Client only uses system-wide paths  
when evoking commands on X2Go Servers.

This, of course, will boycott installing X2Go Server into ~<user>  
space, but actually, I prefer a safe setup to such custom installation  
tweaks.

Feedback?!?

Mike
