CVE-2014-2667

Race condition in the _get_masked_mode function in Lib/os.py in Python 3.2 through 3.5, when exist_ok is set to true and multiple threads are used, might allow local users to bypass intended file permissions by leveraging a separate application vulnerability before the umask has been set to the expected value.

xdg-open RCE

Posted by joernchen on Nov 14

Hi,

I just ran into some RCE issue with xdg-open today and figured it’s known
and unfixed since 2013-06-10 [0] (respectively 2013-07-07 upstream [1])

As apparently noone cares about this I just leave a silly PoC [3]
(should work with Chromium on Arch/Gentoo Linux) here. Additional
requirement is a Window Manager which is _NOT_ one of the following:

* KDE
* GNOME
* MATE
* XFCE
* ENLIGHTENMENT

Cheers,

joernchen
