rxvt-unicode: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code

rxvt-unicode: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code A vulnerability in rxvt-unicode may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code. rxvt-unicode 2021-05-26 2021-05-26 790782 local, remote 9.22-r9 9.22-r9

rxvt-unicode (urxvt) is a clone of the rxvt terminal emulator.

It was discovered that rxvt-unicode did not properly handle certain escape sequences.

A remote attacker could entice a user to run a program where attacker controls the output inside a rxvt terminal window, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All rxvt-unicode users should upgrade to the latest version:


      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=x11-terms/rxvt-unicode-9.22-r9"
