|
|
Comix does not properly sanitize filenames containing shell
|
|
metacharacters when they are passed to the rar, unrar, or jpegtran
|
|
programs (CVE-2008-1568). Comix also creates directories with
|
|
predictable names (CVE-2008-1796).
|
|
</p>

|
|
<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A remote attacker could exploit the first vulnerability by enticing a
|
|
user to use Comix to open a file with a specially crafted filename,
|
|
resulting in the execution of arbitrary commands. The second
|
|
vulnerability could be exploited by a local attacker to cause a Denial
|
|
of Service by creating a file or directory with the same filename as
|
|
the predictable filename used by Comix.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All Comix users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-gfx/comix-3.6.4-r1"</code>
