fvwm is a highly configurable virtual window manager for X11 desktops.
|
||
|
|
fvwm-menu-directory allows fvwm users to browse directories from within
|
||
|
|
fvwm.

|
|
Tavis Ormandy of the Gentoo Linux Security Audit Team discovered that
|
||
|
|
fvwm-menu-directory does not sufficiently sanitise directory names
|
||
|
|
prior to generating menus.

||
|

<p>
|
||
|
|
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>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.

<p>

All fvwm users should upgrade to the latest version:
