Date Reported:

14 May 2022

Affected Packages:

openssl

Vulnerable:

Yes

Security database references:

In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2022-1292.

More information:

The c_rehash script does not properly sanitise shell metacharacters to prevent command injection. This script is executed by update-ca-certificates, from ca-certificates, to re-hash certificates in /etc/ssl/certs/. An attacker able to place files in this directory could execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the script.

For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version 1.1.0l-1~deb9u6.

We recommend that you upgrade your openssl packages.
