CVE-2017-16544 not yet assigned priority: Debian including 1 source packages (busybox), 5 status rows across 5 suites (bookworm, bullseye, forky, sid, trixie): resolved 5.
In the add_match function in libbb/lineedit.c in BusyBox through 1.27.2, the tab autocomplete feature of the shell, used to get a list of filenames in a directory, does not sanitize filenames and results in executing any escape sequence in the terminal. This could potentially result in code execution, arbitrary file writes, or other attacks.
