6.8 MEDIUM — AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

Description

The vte_sequence_handler_window_manipulation function in vteseq.c in libvte (aka libvte9) in VTE 0.25.1 and earlier, as used in gnome-terminal, does not properly handle escape sequences, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands or obtain potentially sensitive information via a (1) window title or (2) icon title sequence. NOTE: this issue exists because of a CVE-2003-0070 regression.

Affected configurations

• nalin dahyabhai vte (<= 0.25.1) • nalin dahyabhai vte 0.11.21 • nalin dahyabhai vte 0.12.2 • nalin dahyabhai vte 0.14.2 • nalin dahyabhai vte 0.15.0 • nalin dahyabhai vte 0.16.14 • nalin dahyabhai vte 0.17.4 • nalin dahyabhai vte 0.20.5 • nalin dahyabhai vte 0.22.5 • nalin dahyabhai vte 0.24.3
