LICENSE README.md cvefilelist cvelist nvdcve nvdpages.sh scripts test-CVE-2017-1882.markdown test-CVE-2017-18822.markdown tmpvendorlinks DISPUTED LICENSE README.md cvefilelist cvelist nvdcve nvdpages.sh scripts test-CVE-2017-1882.markdown test-CVE-2017-18822.markdown tmpvendorlinks 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.\
