CVE-2022-1292: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection')
(updated )
The c_rehash
script does not properly sanitise shell metacharacters to prevent command injection. This script is distributed by some operating systems in a manner where it is automatically executed. On such operating systems, an attacker could execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the script. Use of the c_rehash
script is considered obsolete and should be replaced by the OpenSSL rehash
command line tool.
