Amazon Linux 2 Security Advisory: ALAS-2024-2547
Advisory Release Date: 2024-05-23 22:04 Pacific
Advisory Updated Date: 2024-05-29 12:00 Pacific
Severity:
Important
Issue Overview:
less through 653 allows OS command execution via a newline character in the name of a file, because quoting is mishandled in filename.c. Exploitation typically requires use with attacker-controlled file names, such as the files extracted from an untrusted archive. Exploitation also requires the LESSOPEN environment variable, but this is set by default in many common cases. (CVE-2024-32487)
