The c_rehash script does not properly sanitise shell metacharacters to prevent command injection. This script is executed by update-ca-certificates, from ca-certificates, to re-hash certificates in /etc/ssl/certs/. An attacker able to place files in this directory could execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the script.



For Debian 8 jessie, these problems have been fixed in version 1.0.1t-1+deb8u18.

We recommend that you upgrade your openssl packages.
