Because Windows executables haven’t wreaked enough damage on Windows computers, now you can use malformed MSI files to run malicious code on Linux systems. This scenario is possible because of a vulnerability discovered by German IT expert Nils Dagsson Moskopp, which he named “Bad Taste.” The vulnerability affects GNOME Files, formerly known as Nautilus, the default file manager/explorer for Linux distros using the GNOME desktop.
