Hi, On full-disclosure list there was reported a command injection vulnerability in 'sup', a console-based email client. [0] http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/sup-talk/2013-October/004996.html [1] http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2013/Oct/272 For reference quoting the upstream announce: ----cut---------cut---------cut---------cut---------cut---------cut----- Greetings, Security advisory (#SBU1) for Sup We have been notified of an potential exploit in the somewhat careless way Sup treats attachment metadata in received e-mails. The issues should now be fixed and I have released Sup 0.13.2.1 and 0.14.1.1 which incorporates these fixes. Please upgrade immediately and also ensure that your mime-decode or mime-view hooks are secure [0], [1]. This is specifically related to using quotes (',") around filename or content_type which is already escaped using Ruby Shellwords.escape - this means that the string (content_type, filename) is intended to be used _without_ any further quotes. Please make sure that if you use .mailcap (non OSX systems), you do not quote the string.

Please report any issues to: https://github.com/sup-heliotrope/sup/issues Regards, Gaute ----cut---------cut---------cut---------cut---------cut---------cut----- Upstream fixed (as mentioned in announce) the issue in 0.13.2.1 and 0.14.1.1.
