Descriptions
backend/comics/comics-document.c (aka the comic book backend) in GNOME Evince before 3.24.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a .cbt file that is a TAR archive containing a filename beginning with a "--" command-line option substring, as demonstrated by a --checkpoint-action=exec=bash at the beginning of the filename.
El archivo backend/comics/comics-document.c (también conocido como comic book backend) en versiones anteriores a la v3.24.1 de GNOME Evince permite que atacantes remotos ejecuten comandos arbitrarios utilizando un archivo .cbt, que es un archivo TAR que contiene un nombre de archivo que comienza con un substring de opción de línea de comandos "--". Esto ha sido demostrado con --checkpoint-action=exec=bash al principio del nombre de archivo.
It was found that evince did not properly sanitize the command line which is run to untar Comic Book Tar (CBT) files, thereby allowing command injection. A specially crafted CBT file, when opened by evince or evince-thumbnailer, could execute arbitrary commands in the context of the evince program.
Evince version 3.24.0 suffers from a command injection vulnerability.
