Short explanation
A flaw exists in Nautilus where unmounting or ejecting a removable drive or disk image prompts the user to empty the trash without verifying if the trash directory paths are symbolic links. An attacker can exploit this flaw by tricking a user into mounting a crafted storage volume and confirming the prompt.
This vulnerability matters because it can lead to the arbitrary deletion of files accessible to the user on affected systems.
