TITLE:
aMule Video Preview Arbitrary Parameter Injection Security Issue

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA34839

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/34839/

DESCRIPTION:
A security issue has been reported in aMule, which can be exploited
by malicious people to manipulate certain data.

The security issue is caused due to the application improperly
sanitising the file name of a previewed video file. This can be
exploited to pass arbitrary arguments to the configured media player
by tricking a user into downloading and previewing a file containing
e.g. single quote characters.

The security issue is reported in version 2.2.4. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not preview untrusted video files.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Reported in a Debian bug report by Sam Hocevar.
