Description Andreas Stieger 2018-02-07 08:14:47 UTC

CVE-2018-6791

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.
