lftp: shell command execution

Package(s):lftp CVE #(s):CVE-2007-2348
Created:May 4, 2007 Updated:September 16, 2009
Description: mirror --script in lftp before 3.5.9 does not properly quote shell metacharacters, which might allow remote user-assisted attackers to execute shell commands via a malicious script. NOTE: it is not clear whether this issue crosses security boundaries, since the script already supports commands such as "get" which could overwrite executable files.
Alerts:
CentOS CESA-2009:1278 2009-09-15
Red Hat RHSA-2009:1278-02 2009-09-02
