Description Quality Assurance univentionstaff 2018-08-09 10:19:17 CEST
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)

1.1.0~rc1+git20111210-7.4+deb8u1 (Sun, 20 May 2018 22:49:00 +0300) * Fix CVE-2017-18266,. - Avoid argument injection vulnerability in open_generic.
* CVE-2017-18266 xdg-utils: Argument injection vulnerability in open_envvar() function (CVE-2017-18266)
