Descriptions

mirror --script in lftp before 3.5.9 does not properly quote shell metacharacters, which might allow remote user-assisted attackers to execute shell commands via a malicious script. NOTE: it is not clear whether this issue crosses security boundaries, since the script already supports commands such as "get" which could overwrite executable files.

La secuencia de comandos mirror en lftp anterior a 3.5.9 no cita adecaudamente el interprete de carácteres metacaracter, lo cual podría permitir atacantes con la intervención del usuario ejecutar comandos del interprete de comandos (shell) a través de secuencias de comandos maliciosas. NOTA: no está claro si este asunto cruza los límites de la seguridad, puesto que que la secuencia de comandos apoya comandos como por ejemplo “get” que podrían sobreescribir ficheros ejecutables.
