Description Josh Bressers 2006-04-18 19:36:46 UTC 
Beagle command line injection

Chris Evans discovered that while indexing, Beagle will build certain
command lines in an insecure manner.  When Beagle executes external
helper applications, it is possible to cause beagle to execute
arbitrary commands as the user running beagle.
