Description:   Opened: 2006-03-30 09:53 0000 
The script "beagle-status" calls "beagle-info" giving preference to the copy
that is located within the user's current working directory, rather than the
original copy.

An attacker can force the user to execute code, with a malicious copy of
"beagle-info" located in the user's current directory.

Beagle has no stable ebuild.

------- Comment #1 From Luis Medinas (RETIRED) 2006-03-30 10:20:52 0000 ------- 
looks like this only afects beagle 0.2.2.1
I'll look for a patch in case of beagle 0.2.3 is afected too.

------- Comment #2 From Raphael Marichez 2006-03-30 10:25:00 0000 ------- 
well, AFAI can say :

if [ -x "./beagle-info" ]; then
    CMD="./beagle-info"
else
    CMD="beagle-info"
fi


is both in beagle-status and beagle-ping

fix is trivial, but i'am not sure this is wanted by the upstream (and by you).
Maybe a warn to the user ?

------- Comment #3 From Luis Medinas (RETIRED) 2006-03-30 10:53:55 0000 ------- 
fixed on cvs i might look at this patch later because that fix sucks. :)

Thanks guys.
