CVE-2023-50254 – Deepin Reader RCE vulnerability due to a design flaw
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2023-50254
Deepin Linux's default document reader `deepin-reader` software suffers from a serious vulnerability in versions prior to 6.0.7 due to a design flaw that leads to remote command execution via crafted docx document. This is a file overwrite vulnerability. Remote code execution (RCE) can be achieved by overwriting files like .bash_rc, .bash_login, etc. RCE will be triggered when the user opens the terminal. Version 6.0.7 contains a patch for the issue. • https://github.com/linuxdeepin/deepin-reader/commit/4db7a079fb7bd77257b1b9208a7ab26aade8fe04 https://github.com/linuxdeepin/deepin-reader/commit/c192fd20a2fe4003e0581c3164489a89e06420c6 https://github.com/linuxdeepin/developer-center/security/advisories/GHSA-q9jr-726g-9495 • CWE-22: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') CWE-27: Path Traversal: 'dir/../../filename' •
