[Pkg-lxde-maintainers] Bug#862571: pcmanfm: single instance socket may be blocked by another user.

Package: pcmanfm
Version: 1.2.5-2
Version: 1.2.3-1.1
Severity: serious
Tags: upstream security

The socket placed in /tmp is predictable and public-writable. Therefore
if one user placed a symlink to another socket instead of socket for
another user then said another user will either be unable to use pcmanfm,
or may send requests to the first user's pcmanfm. Upstream released a fix
for this issue:
