CVE-2017-17533 (CCN-136394)

Assigned:2017-12-14
Published:2017-12-14
Updated:2018-01-03
Summary:** DISPUTED ** default.tcl in Tkabber 1.1 does not validate strings before launching the program specified by the BROWSER environment variable, which might allow remote attackers to conduct argument-injection attacks via a crafted URL.
Note: a third party has indicated that the attack cannot occur because of the argument-parsing behavior of the Tcl exec function.
