The purpose of Linux Mint is to produce a modern, elegant and comfortable operating system which is both powerful and easy to use. Linux Mint is one of the most popular desktop Linux distributions and used by millions of people. Some of the reasons for the success of Linux Mint are: It works out of the box, with full multimedia support and is extremely easy to use. It's both free of cost and open source. It's community-driven. Users are encouraged to send feedback to the project so that their ideas can be used to improve Linux Mint. Based on Debian and Ubuntu, it provides about 30,000 packages and one of the best software managers. It's safe and reliable. Thanks to a conservative approach to software updates, a unique Update Manager and the robustness of its Linux architecture, Linux Mint requires very little maintenance (no regressions, no antivirus, no anti-spyware...etc).

This Metasploit module exploits a vulnerability within the "ghelp", "help" and "man" URI handlers within Linux Mint's "ubuntu-system-adjustments" package. Invoking any one the URI handlers will call the python script "/usr/local/bin/yelp" with the contents of the supplied URI handler as its argument. The script will then search for the strings "gnome-help" or "ubuntu-help" and if doesn't find either of them it'll then execute os.system("/usr/bin/yelp %s" % args). User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability. Versions 18.3 through 19.1 are affected. View the full article
