New Debian xdg-utils 1.1.0~rc1+git20111210-7.4+deb8u1 fixes:
This update addresses the following issue(s):
* 
* The open_envvar function in xdg-open in xdg-utils before 1.1.3 does not validate strings before launching the program specified by the BROWSER environment variable, which might allow remote attackers to conduct argument-injection attacks via a crafted URL, as demonstrated by %s in this environment variable. (CVE-2017-18266)
