CVE-2009-1669

Publication date 18 May 2009

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

The smarty_function_math function in libs/plugins/function.math.php in Smarty 2.6.22 allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the equation attribute of the math function. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.
