Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions devscripts versions prior to 2.15.7

Description The issue is related to the devscripts package, specifically the scripts/licensecheck.pl script, which fails to properly neutralize special elements used in a command. This allows a local attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands. The estimated number of potentially affected devices is not specified.

Recommendations For devscripts versions prior to 2.15.7, update to version 2.15.7 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the scripts/licensecheck.pl script to minimize the risk of exploitation.
