Descriptions

GKSu 2.0.2, when sudo-mode is not enabled, uses " (double quote) characters in a gksu-run-helper argument, which allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands in certain situations involving an untrusted substring within this argument, as demonstrated by an untrusted filename encountered during installation of a VirtualBox extension pack.

GKSu 2.0.2, cuando el modo sudo no está habilitado, utiliza caracteres ' (dobles comillas) en un argumento de gksu-run-helper, lo cual permite a atacantes ejecutar comandos en ciertas situaciones relacionando una subcadena no confiable dentro de este argumento, tal y como fue demostrado mediante un nombre de fichero no confiable encontrado durante la instalación de un paquete de extensión de VirtualBox.
