@vcunat:matrix.orgvcunat

Why is it called RCE? They write

attackers with limited sudo privileges

19:43:47
@vcunat:matrix.orgvcunatThat's like a completely different level of severity.19:44:12
@hexa:lossy.networkhexaposted it before reading it fully, doesn't make sense to me yet, sorry19:44:51
@mdaniels5757:matrix.orgmdaniels5757The "vuln"s listed are different. On https://packetstorm.news/files/id/189989, the "vuln" is that when you set an arbitrary shell command to run when an IP is banned, and then an IP is banned, the arbitrary shells script runs. But on https://gist.github.com/R-Security/1c707a08f9c7f9a91d9d84b5010aaed2, it claims that there is "insufficient sanitization of variables", I see no evidence of that provided. CVE slop?20:42:47
@mdaniels5757:matrix.orgmdaniels5757I'll file an issue with upstream and see what they say.20:43:35
