Description Timo Trinks 2017-08-21 00:22:53 UTC 
Description of problem:

Jeriko One discovered a vulnerability that allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on your computer.

An attacker can craft an RSS item with shell code in the title and/or URL. When you bookmark such an item, your shell will execute that code. The vulnerability is triggered when bookmark-cmd is called; if you abort bookmarking before that, you're safe.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Newsbeuter versions 0.7 through 2.9 are affected.

How reproducible:

Always.
