in CVE-2022-1292, further circumstances where the c_rehash script does not properly sanitise
shell metacharacters to prevent command injection were found by code review.
When the CVE-2022-1292 was fixed it was not discovered that there are other places in the script
where the file names of certificates being hashed were possibly passed to a command executed
through the shell.
This script is distributed by some operating systems in a manner where it is automatically
executed. On such operating systems, an attacker could execute arbitrary commands with the
privileges of the script.
Use of the c_rehash script is considered obsolete and should be replaced by the OpenSSL rehash
command line tool.");
