Synopsis
========

A vulnerability in Kleopatra allows arbitrary execution of code.

Background
==========

Kleopatra is a certificate manager and a universal crypto GUI. It
supports managing X.509 and OpenPGP certificates in the GpgSM keybox
and retrieving certificates from LDAP servers.

Affected packages
=================

——————————————————————-

Description
===========

Kleopatra did not safely escape command line parameters provided by
URLs, which it configures itself to handle.

Impact

A remote attacker could entice a user to process a specially crafted
URL via openpgp4fpr handler, possibly resulting in execution of
arbitrary code with the privileges of the process, or cause a Denial of
Service condition.

Workaround
