Subject: Podbeuter podcast fetcher: remote code execution
Podbeuter is a podcast fetcher and player that's developed alongside
with Newsbeuter, an RSS/Atom feed reader for text consoles.
Versions 0.3 through 2.9 are vulnerable to remote code execution. An
attacker can craft an RSS item where the name of media enclosure
(the podcast file) contains shell code. When user plays the file in
Podbeuter, the shell code will be executed.
A commit fixing the vulnerability in Git:
https://github.com/akrennmair/newsbeuter/commit/c8fea2f60c18ed30bdd1bb6f798e994e51a58260
A patch for Podbeuter 2.9:
https://github.com/akrennmair/newsbeuter/commit/26f5a4350f3ab5507bb8727051c87bb04660f333
Upstream issue: https://github.com/akrennmair/newsbeuter/issues/598
I've requested a CVE from MITRE on August 27th, but haven't heard back
yet, so decided to disclose without a number.
