arbitrary code.

Background

X2Go is an open source terminal server project.

Affected packages

Description

A vulnerability in the setgid wrapper x2gosqlitewrapper.c does not
hardcode an internal path to x2gosqlitewrapper.pl, allowing a remote
attacker to change that path.

Impact

privileges of the user running the server process.

Workaround
