- Weaknesses
- CWE-77
Description
xterm before 375 allows code execution via font ops, e.g., because an OSC 50 response may have Ctrl-g and therefore lead to command execution within the vi line-editing mode of Zsh. NOTE: font ops are not allowed in the xterm default configurations of some Linux distributions.
Affected configurations
• invisible-island xterm (< 375)
• fedoraproject fedora 35
• fedoraproject fedora 36
• fedoraproject fedora 37
