Use CVE-2013-7416.
One might also argue that the underlying problem is that
doc/configuration in the Canto distribution tells users to enter
link_handler lines with " quoting, e.g.,
link_handler("elinks \"%u\"", text=True)
within the user's ~/.canto/conf.py file. This perhaps could have been
addressed either by making the %u value safe before conf.py is
executed, or by telling the user to add other Python code to conf.py
for correct quoting.
In other words, 731582 is a valid vulnerability report because the
reporter is using a quoting approach that exactly matches the vendor's
recommendation. This is not a site-specific report about an error in
one user's ~/.canto/conf.py file.
2817869f98c54975f31e2dd674c1aefa70749cca adds an shlex.quote call --
shlex.quote is found in
https://hg.python.org/cpython/file/tip/Lib/shlex.py and has:
return "'" + s.replace("'", "'\"'\"'") + "'"
