Descriptions

The xterm terminal emulator in XFree86 4.2.0 and earlier allows attackers to modify the window title via a certain character escape sequence and then insert it back to the command line in the user's terminal, e.g. when the user views a file containing the malicious sequence, which could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary commands.

El emulador de terminal xterm en XFree86 4.2.0 permite a atacantes modificar el título de la ventana mediante cierta secuencia de caracter de escape y a continuación insertarlo de vuelta en la linea de comando en el terminal del usuario, por ejemplo, cuando el usuario ve un fichero que contiene la secuencia maliciosa, lo que podría permitir ejecutar comandos arbitrarios.
