gsd-2015-7541
Vulnerability from gsd
Modified
2016-01-04 00:00
Details
The contents of the `image_path`, `colors`, and `depth` variables generated from possibly user-supplied input are passed directly to the shell via `convert ...`. If a user supplies a value that includes shell metacharacters such as ';', an attacker may be able to execute shell commands on the remote system as the user id of the Ruby process. To resolve this issue, the aforementioned variables (especially `image_path`) must be sanitized for shell metacharacters.
