Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla@FreeBSD.org> has asked freebsd-enlightenment mailing list <enlightenment@FreeBSD.org> for maintainer-feedback: Bug 234103: x11/terminology: CVE-2018-20167 Incorrect escaping of crafted f= iles results in code execution https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D234103 --- Description --- (Copied from Redhat bugzilla.) Terminology before 1.3.1 allows Remote Code Execution because popmedia is mishandled, as demonstrated by an unsafe "cat README.md" command when \e}pn= is used. A popmedia control sequence can allow the malicious execution of executable file formats registered in the X desktop share MIME types (/usr/share/applications). The control sequence defers unknown file types to the handle_unknown_media() function, which executes xdg-open against the filename specified in the sequence. The use of xdg-open for all unknown file types allows executable file formats with a registered shared MIME type to = be executed. An attacker can achieve remote code execution by introducing an executable file and a plain text file containing the control sequence throu= gh a fake software project (e.g., in Git or a tarball). When the control sequenc= e is rendered (such as with cat), the executable file will be run. https://www.enlightenment.org/news/2018-12-16-terminology-1.3.1 https://phab.enlightenment.org/T7504 https://phab.enlightenment.org/rTRM1ac204da9148e7bccb1b5f34b523e2094dfc39e2
