Subject Name: Links Subject Summary: Web Browser Subject Home: http://links.twibright.com/ Subject Versions: * < 2.1pre26 Vulnerability Id: CVE-2006-5925 Vulnerability Scope: global (not OpenPKG specific) Attack Feasibility: run-time Attack Vector: remote network Attack Impact: arbitrary code execution Description: Teemu Salmela discovered [0] that the Links [1] character-mode web-browser performs insufficient sanitising of URLs based on the "smb" scheme, which might lead to the execution of arbitrary shell commands. The problem is triggered by the shell meta characters '"' and ';' in URLs starting with "smb://" on GET and PUT requests.
