Paul Szabo reported an insufficient input sanitization when processing
|
|
Device Control Request Status String (DECRQSS) sequences.

<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A remote attacker could entice a user to display a file containing
|
|
specially crafted DECRQSS sequences, possibly resulting in the remote
|
|
execution of arbitrary commands with the privileges of the user viewing
|
|
the file.
|
|
</p>

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

</workaround>

<resolution>

All xterm users should upgrade to the latest version:
|

|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=x11-terms/xterm-239"</code>
