Title:
  Shell Command Injection with a picture

Status in pitivi package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  mainwindow.py , Line 486
  os.system('xdg-open "%s"' % path_from_uri(asset.get_id()))

  If you import an image and double click on it to see a preview  , 
   any shell command in the picture name will be executet.

  For example :
  1) rename a picture to this name

  $(xmessage hello world).png

  2) import the picture

  3) doubleclick on the picture entry  in the media libary.

  4) xmessage runs

  So, please use subprocess, not os.system
