Description |
IRIX contains a flaw that may allow a malicious user to gain access to unauthorized privileges. The issue is triggered when an ingenious, yet malicious, user places escape sequences in a file or filename, which when passed to xwsh, will remap keys to unexpected strings or to xwsh internal functions. This flaw may lead to a loss of integrity.
