Summary
Updated cinnamon packages fix security vulnerability
Details

A flaw was found in Cinnamon 1.9.2 through 3.8.6. The cinnamon-settings-users.py GUI runs as root and allows configuration of (for example) other users' icon files in onfacebrowsemenuitemactivated and _onfacemenuitemactivated. These icon files are written to the respective user's $HOME/.face location. If an unprivileged user prepares a symlink pointing to an arbitrary location, then this location will be overwritten with the icon content (CVE-2018-13054).
