GCVE Workshop - 22 September 2026 (14:00-18:00), Luxembourg Before The Vulnopticon Conference - Registration

GSD-2011-0739

Vulnerability from gsd - Updated: 2011-01-25 00:00
Details
Mail Gem for Ruby contains a flaw related to the failure to properly sanitise input passed from an email from address in the 'deliver()' function in 'lib/mail/network/delivery_methods/sendmail.rb' before being used as a command line argument. This may allow a remote attacker to inject arbitrary shell commands.
