Debian LTS: DLA-3277-1: powerline-gitstatus security update
Summary
-------------------------------------------------------------------------Debian LTS Advisory DLA-3277-1 debian-lts@lists.debian.org https://www.debian.org/lts/security/ Markus Koschany January 20, 2023 https://wiki.debian.org/LTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------Package : powerline-gitstatus Version : 1.3.2-0+deb10u1 CVE ID : CVE-2022-42906 Powerline Gitstatus, a status line plugin for the VIM editor, allows arbitrary code execution. Git repositories can contain per-repository configuration that changes the behavior of git, including running arbitrary commands. When using powerline-gitstatus, changing to a directory automatically runs git commands in order to display information about the current repository in the prompt. If an attacker can convince a user to change their current directory to one controlled by the attacker, such as in a shared filesystem or extracted archive, powerline-gitstatus will run arbitrary commands under the attacker's control. For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version 1.3.2-0+deb10u1. We recommend that you upgrade your powerline-gitstatus packages.
