Class: VULNERABILITY | Family: unix |
backintime-common before 1.1.24 did improper escaping/quoting of file paths used as arguments to the "notify-send" command, leading to some parts of file paths being executed as shell commands within an os.system call in qt4/plugins/notify plugin.py. This could allow an attacker to craft an unreadable file with a specific name to run arbitrary shell commands.
