+ <background>
+ <p>
+ fvwm is a highly configurable virtual window manager for X11 desktops.
+ fvwm-menu-directory allows fvwm users to browse directories from within
+ fvwm.

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Tavis Ormandy of the Gentoo Linux Security Audit Team discovered that
+ fvwm-menu-directory does not sufficiently sanitise directory names
+ prior to generating menus.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A local attacker who can convince an fvwm-menu-directory user to browse
+ a directory they control could cause fvwm commands to be executed with
+ the privileges of the fvwm user. Fvwm commands can be used to execute
+ arbitrary shell commands.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All fvwm users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=x11-wm/fvwm-2.5.18-r1"</code>
