CVE-2013-2513

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions flash tool gem versions prior to 0.6.0

Description The issue allows command execution via shell metacharacters in the name of a downloaded file. It is triggered during the handling of downloaded files that contain shell characters, enabling a context-dependent attacker to execute arbitrary commands with a specially crafted file.

Recommendations For versions prior to 0.6.0, update to version 0.6.0 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the handling of downloaded files to prevent the execution of arbitrary commands until a patch is available. Avoid using the flash tool gem for downloading files that may contain shell characters until the issue is resolved.
