Title:
  /usr/share/backgrounds/Water_web_by_Tom_Kijas.jpg has executable
  permissions set by default.

Status in ubuntu-wallpapers package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  /usr/share/backgrounds/Water_web_by_Tom_Kijas.jpg has executable
  permissions set by default. This file is part of the ubuntu-
  wallpapers-trusty_14.04.0.1-0ubuntu1_all package.

  Clearly as a background image/desktop wallpaper this file should not
  have executable privileges. I have checked the file with ClamTk  5.10
  which reports no problems.

  I'm flagging this as a security bug because jpg files can be used as
  an attack vector. But it's likely just a mistake in the packaging of
  the file.
