One thing we do commonly have, I think, is access to the Documents
directory.
OTOH, on GNU/Linux we typically don't really have any special protection
for user files.

I don't think we have a rough timeline for 29.2 as of now. I'm leaning
towards just including this in the next release as usual, since the bug
only affects the macOS port, and anyways, and IIUC, depends on other
things being vulnerable to be exploited.
But I'm very open to being convinced otherwise, if anyone sees any
problems with that.
Eli, do you have any comments here?
