Re: CVE-2017-1000083: evince: Command injection vulnerability in CBT handler

This can be exploited by creating a tar archive with an embedded file
named something
like this: "--checkpoint-action=exec=bash -c 'touch ~/covfefe.evince;'.jpg"

(Make sure evince is not sandboxed by apparmor before trying to reproduce
the attached POC)

Not sure if the list ate the attachment, but I don’t see it available. Perhaps a link to it somewhere else would be 
of use?

Sebastian Krahmer of SUSE recreated one that starts xeyes.
