*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

Public security bug reported:

/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.

** Affects: ubuntu-wallpapers (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Information type changed from Private Security to Public Security
