CVE-2011-1154: Input Validation
First published: Sun Feb 27 2011(Updated: )
A shell command injection flaw was found in the way the logrotate utility handled shred configuration directive (intended to ensure the log files are not readable after their scheduled deletion). A local attacker could use this flaw to execute arbitrary system commands (if the logrotate was run under privileged system user account, root) when the logrotate utility was run on a log file, within attacker controllable directory.
