Description:
Jesus Olmos Gonzalez has discovered a vulnerability in Filesys::SmbClientParser, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise an application using the module.
The vulnerability is caused due to the module improperly escaping characters contained within e.g. the names of shared directories. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary commands by tricking the user into processing a specially crafted directory shared by a malicious SMB server.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2.7. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Do not connect to untrusted servers with applications using the module.
