Description |
Beagle contains a flaw that may allow a local attacker to trick a user into executing arbitrary commands. The issue is due to the 'beagle-status' script not securely calling the 'beagle-info' file. By placing an alternate beagle-info file in a directory such as /tmp, there is a chance a user will execute the script and have any commands in the beagle-info file executed with the privileges of the user running the script. |
