JSON

backend/comics/comics-document.c (aka the comic book backend) in GNOME Evince before 3.24.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a .cbt file that is a TAR archive containing a filename beginning with a “—” command-line option substring, as demonstrated by a —checkpoint-action=exec=bash at the beginning of the filename.

Recent assessments:

pbarry-r7 at November 25, 2019 8:02pm UTC reported:

Does rely on a user to download and open an injected .cbt file with a vulnerable version of Evince (though the preview functionality of file manager software might trigger the injection without requiring the user to expressly open the file).
