Description

Perlpodder contains a flaw that may allow a malicious user to execute arbitrary commands on the victim's system. The issue is triggered because the software fails to properly sanitise input from a podcast server in the shape of a podcast URL before passing it to a shell command. A malicious podcast server could therefore embed shell commands in the URL, resulting in the execution of these commands and hence of a loss of integrity.
