From 515294bb8023a45ff916696d0a14308ff4f3a376 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alan Coopersmith Date: Fri, 6 Jan 2023 12:50:48 -0800 Subject: Fix CVE-2022-4883: compression commands depend on $PATH By default, on all platforms except MinGW, libXpm will detect if a filename ends in .Z or .gz, and will when reading such a file fork off an uncompress or gunzip command to read from via a pipe, and when writing such a file will fork off a compress or gzip command to write to via a pipe. In libXpm 3.5.14 or older these are run via execlp(), relying on $PATH to find the commands. If libXpm is called from a program running with raised privileges, such as via setuid, then a malicious user could set $PATH to include programs of their choosing to be run with those privileges.
