Comment 1 Adam Mariš 2019-02-08 10:51:03 UTC 
This flaw affects gvfs since 1.29.4 where admin backend was introduced up to and including 1.39.4.
Comment 2 Adam Mariš 2019-02-08 11:17:34 UTC 
Statement:

This issue did not affect the versions of gvfs as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 as they did not include support for admin backend.
