Package        : firejail
Version        : 0.9.44.8-2+deb9u1
CVE ID         : CVE-2020-17367 CVE-2020-17368


Tim Starling discovered two vulnerabilities in firejail, a sandbox
program to restrict the running environment of untrusted applications.

CVE-2020-17367

     It was reported that firejail does not respect the end-of-options
     separator ("--"), allowing an attacker with control over the command
     line options of the sandboxed application, to write data to a
     specified file.

CVE-2020-17368

     It was reported that firejail when redirecting output via --output
     or --output-stderr, concatenates all command line arguments into a
     single string that is passed to a shell. An attacker who has control
     over the command line arguments of the sandboxed application could
     take advantage of this flaw to run run arbitrary other commands.


For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version
0.9.44.8-2+deb9u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your firejail packages.
