[SECURITY] [DLA 217-1] xdg-utils security update



The two below CVE issues have recently been fixed in Debian squeeze-lts:

CVE-2014-9622

     John Houwer discovered a way to cause xdg-open, a tool that automatically
     opens URLs in a user's preferred application, to execute arbitrary
     commands remotely.

CVE-2015-1877

     Jiri Horner discovered a way to cause xdg-open, a tool that automatically
     opens URLs in a user's preferred application, to execute arbitrary
     commands remotely.

     This problem only affects /bin/sh implementations that don't sanitize
     local variables. Dash, which is the default /bin/sh in Debian is
     affected. Bash as /bin/sh is known to be unaffected.
