rxvt-unicode: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code

rxvt-unicode: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code A vulnerability in rxvt-unicode may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code. rxvt-unicode 2014-06-19 2014-06-19 509174 remote 9.20 9.20

rxvt-unicode (urxvt) is a clone of the rxvt terminal emulator.

rxvt-unicode does not properly handle OSC escape sequences, including those used to read and write X window properties.

A remote attacker could entice a user to run a specially crafted file using rxvt-unicode, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All rxvt-unicode users should upgrade to the latest version:


      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=x11-terms/rxvt-unicode-9.20"
