This was assigned multiple CVE numbers: CVE-2013-7323 Unrestricted use of unquoted strings in a shell, within version 0.3.4 CVE-2014-1927 Erroneous assumptions about the usability of " characters within version 0.3.5, leading to attacks such as $( command substitution within a "-quoted string CVE-2014-1928 Erroneous insertion of a \ character within version 0.3.5, leading to attacks involving command lists (such as lists separated by a ; character) Full details: http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2014/q1/294
CVE-2014-1929 was assigned to: "" Second, 0.3.5 and 0.3.6 have a series of differences in handling of command-line arguments. This seems to be most likely a reaction to Florian Weimer's observation of "you need to make sure that you prevent option injection through positional arguments." Does anyone believe that option injection was impossible in 0.3.5? If not, we will make a fourth CVE assignment. "" Reference: http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2014/q1/335
