Package: libui-dialog-perl Version: 1.08-1.1 Severity: important
Hi UI::Dialog Perl module with the "dialog" backend does not properly escape shell metacharacters in strings passed to it. This bug is a potential security risk if these strings come from untrusted sources since it allows execution of arbitrary shell commands. The following program demostrates this problem: use UI::Dialog; my $d = new UI::Dialog( order => ['dialog']); $d->menu( list => [ "", '`echo "Hello" > test`' ]) Best regards Tomaz Solc -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (600, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.25 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages libui-dialog-perl depends on: ii perl 5.10.0-11 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction libui-dialog-perl recommends no packages. libui-dialog-perl suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
