Package: rxvt-unicode
Version: 9.21-1
Severity: important
Tags: security upstream patch
This is not really news as this is an age-old attack with low impact:
rxvt-unicode does not filter end sequences when using bracketed paste mode. You
can try this by following this web page:
https://thejh.net/misc/website-terminal-copy-paste
and using the oh-my-zsh "safe-paste" plugin. Pasted data can escape the
bracketed mode, which might result in unsafe input.
This is confirmed by fetching urxvt source and seeing the definition of
rxvt_term::tt_paste in screen.C.
Patch attached.
