Package: mysql-workbench
Version: 8.0.19+dfsg-1
Tags: security
Dear Maintainer,
the mysql-workbench package has mailcap entries with quoted %-escapes. That is
considered unsafe. Proper escaping should be left to the programs using the
entry.
This Lintian tag is triggered:
https://lintian.debian.org/tags/quoted-placeholder-in-mailcap-entry.html
See also grave bug #930908, which was recently closed because "a Lintian test
already exists":
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=930908
I'm using the "security" tag because the affected rules in combination with
certain mail user agents (or document openers) are the cause of a shell command
injection vulnerability.
/usr/lib/mime/packages/mysql-workbench should be changed from:
application/vnd.mysql-workbench-model; mysql-workbench '%s';
description="MySQL Workbench Model"; test=test -n "$DISPLAY";
nametemplate=%s.mwb
application/sql; mysql-workbench --script '%s'; description="MySQL Workbench
Query File"; test=test -n "$DISPLAY"; nametemplate=%s.sql
to:
application/vnd.mysql-workbench-model; mysql-workbench %s; description="MySQL
Workbench Model"; test=test -n "$DISPLAY"; nametemplate=%s.mwb
application/sql; mysql-workbench --script %s; description="MySQL Workbench
Query File"; test=test -n "$DISPLAY"; nametemplate=%s.sql
If you need more information let me know.
Thanks,
MNZ
