Severity: Normal Title: fvwm: fvwm-menu-directory fvwm command injection Date: November 23, 2006 Bugs: #155078 ID: 200611-17

Synopsis ========
A flaw in fvwm-menu-directory may permit a local attacker to execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of another user.
Background ==========
fvwm is a highly configurable virtual window manager for X11 desktops. fvwm-menu-directory allows fvwm users to browse directories from within fvwm.
Affected packages =================
------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 x11-wm/fvwm < 2.5.18-r1 >= 2.5.18-r1
Description ===========
Tavis Ormandy of the Gentoo Linux Security Audit Team discovered that fvwm-menu-directory does not sufficiently sanitise directory names prior to generating menus.
Impact ======
A local attacker who can convince an fvwm-menu-directory user to browse a directory they control could cause fvwm commands to be executed with the privileges of the fvwm user. Fvwm commands can be used to execute arbitrary shell commands.
Workaround ==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution ==========
All fvwm users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=x11-wm/fvwm-2.5.18-r1"
References ==========
