Descriptions

An issue was discovered in soliduiserver/deviceserviceaction.cpp in KDE Plasma Workspace before 5.12.0. When a vfat thumbdrive that contains `` or $() in its volume label is plugged in and mounted through the device notifier, it's interpreted as a shell command, leading to a possibility of arbitrary command execution. An example of an offending volume label is "$(touch b)" -- this will create a file called b in the home folder.

Se ha descubierto un problema en soliduiserver/deviceserviceaction.cpp en KDE Plasma Workspace en versiones anteriores a la 5.12.0. Cuando una memoria USB vfat que contiene `` o $() en la etiqueta de la partición se enchufa o monta a través del notificador del dispositivo, se interpreta como un comando shell, lo que permite que se ejecuten comandos arbitrarios. Un ejemplo de etiqueta de partición maliciosa es "$(touch b)" -- esto crearía un archivo llamado b en la carpeta home.
