{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2014-1928","details":"The shell_quote function in python-gnupg 0.3.5 does not properly escape characters, which allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via shell metacharacters in unspecified vectors, as demonstrated using \"\\\" (backslash) characters to form multi-command sequences, a different vulnerability than CVE-2014-1927.  NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2013-7323.","modified":"2025-07-16T07:31:50.060087Z","published":"2014-10-25T21:55:00Z","withdrawn":"2025-07-18T16:43:00Z","upstream":["CVE-2014-1928"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2014-1928"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2014/02/09/1"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2014-1928"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"python-gnupg","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:14.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/python-gnupg@0.3.6-1?arch=source&distro=trusty"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"0.3.6-1"}]}],"versions":["0.3.5-2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"python-gnupg","binary_version":"0.3.6-1"},{"binary_name":"python3-gnupg","binary_version":"0.3.6-1"}],"availability":"No subscription required"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2014/UBUNTU-CVE-2014-1928.json"}},{"package":{"name":"python-gnupg","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:16.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/python-gnupg@0.3.8-2?arch=source&distro=xenial"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"0.3.8-2"}]}],"versions":["0.3.7-2","0.3.8-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"python-gnupg","binary_version":"0.3.8-2"},{"binary_name":"python3-gnupg","binary_version":"0.3.8-2"}],"availability":"No subscription required"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2014/UBUNTU-CVE-2014-1928.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.3","severity":[{"type":"Ubuntu","score":"medium"}]}
