Descriptions

Insufficient validation of untrusted input in Blink's mailto: handling in Google Chrome prior to 59.0.3071.86 for Linux, Windows, and Mac allowed a remote attacker to perform command injection via a crafted HTML page, a similar issue to CVE-2004-0121. For example, characters such as * have an incorrect interaction with xdg-email in xdg-utils, and a space character can be used in front of a command-line argument.

Validación insuficiente de entradas no fiables en la manipulación de mailto: de Blink en Google Chrome, en versiones anteriores a la 59.0.3071.86 para Linux, Windows y Mac, permitía que un atacante remoto realizase una inyección de comandos mediante una página HTML manipulada. Este problema es similar al de CVE-2004-0121. Por ejemplo, caracteres como * interactúan incorrectamente con xdg-email en xdg-utils y un carácter de espacio puede emplearse enfrente de un argumento de la línea de comandos.
