Debian GNU/Linux 2.2: Remote Exploit In X-Chat URL Handling Advisory

The version of X-Chat that was distributed with Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 has a vulnerability in the URL handling code. . -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------Debian Security Advisory This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. Debian -- Security Information Wichert Akkerman August 30, 2000 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Package : xchat Problem type : remote exploit Debian-specific: no The version of X-Chat that was distributed with Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 has a vulnerability in the URL handling code: when a user clicks on a URL X-Chat will start netscape to view its target. However it did not check the URL for shell metacharacters, and this could be abused to trick xchat into executing arbitraty commands. This has been fixed in version 1.4.3-0.1, and we recommend you upgrade your xchat package(s) immediately. Update: the powerpc packages mentioned in the first release of this advisory were linked with a version of libgtk that is not available in Debian GNU/Linux 2.2. They have been recompiled with the correct version and reuploaded. wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file.
