- Weaknesses
- CWE-96
Description
less through 653 allows OS command execution via a newline character in the name of a file, because quoting is mishandled in filename.c. Exploitation typically requires use with attacker-controlled file names, such as the files extracted from an untrusted archive. Exploitation also requires the LESSOPEN environment variable, but this is set by default in many common cases.
Affected configurations
• greenwoodsoftware less (<= 653)
• debian debian linux 10.0
• netapp bootstrap os
• netapp hci storage nodes
• netapp solidfire
