IO::Compress versions before 2.220 for Perl can execute arbitrary code in File::GlobMapper via an attacker-controlled output glob
IO::Compress versions before 2.220 for Perl can execute arbitrary code in File::GlobMapper via an attacker-controlled output glob.
_parseOutputGlob() wraps the caller-supplied output glob string in double quotes and stores it in the parser state; _getFiles() then runs the stored expression through eval STRING. A literal double quote in the output glob closes the dquote wrapper, and the characters that follow are evaluated as Perl.
Arbitrary Perl in the output glob executes at the calling process's privilege.
3. perl-IO-Compress: perl-IO-Compress: Arbitrary code execution via attacker-controlled output glob
A flaw was found in perl-IO-Compress, a component used for data compression and decompression. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by crafting a malicious input, specifically an output glob, that bypasses the intended security measures. This could lead to the execution of unauthorized code on the system, potentially allowing the attacker to take full control of the affected process.
