LHa: Multiple vulnerabilities Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200409-13 (LHa: Multiple vulnerabilities) The command line argument as well as the archive parsing code of LHa lack sufficient bounds checking. Furthermore, a shell meta character command execution vulnerability exists in LHa, since it does no proper filtering on directory names. Impact Using a specially crafted command line argument or archive, a possible hacker can cause a buffer overflow and could possibly run arbitrary code. The shell meta character command execution could lead to the execution of arbitrary commands by a possible hacker using directories containing shell meta characters in their names. Workaround There is no known workaround at this time.
