{"id":"CVE-2009-4488","details":"Varnish 2.0.6 writes data to a log file without sanitizing non-printable characters, which might allow remote attackers to modify a window's title, or possibly execute arbitrary commands or overwrite files, via an HTTP request containing an escape sequence for a terminal emulator.  NOTE: the vendor disputes the significance of this report, stating that \"This is not a security problem in Varnish or any other piece of software which writes a logfile. The real problem is the mistaken belief that you can cat(1) a random logfile to your terminal safely.","modified":"2026-04-10T03:41:00.868034Z","published":"2010-01-13T20:30:00Z","database_specific":{"isDisputed":true},"references":[{"type":"EVIDENCE","url":"http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/37713"},{"type":"EVIDENCE","url":"http://www.ush.it/team/ush/hack_httpd_escape/adv.txt"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/508830/100/0/threaded"}],"schema_version":"1.7.5"}
