BSD PortsYelp -- arbitrary file read
[email protected] reports: A flaw was found in Yelp. The Gnome user help application allows the help document to execute arbitrary scripts. This vulnerability allows malicious users to input help documents, which may exfiltrate user files to an external environment.
Affected versions
- yelp < 42.3
By system
1 still vulnerable, 2 fixed. Where VuXML applies (FreeBSD, DragonFly, FreeBSD's derivatives) a port is vulnerable while its version is in a range; pkgsrc says itself whether it lists a CVE of this advisory; OpenBSD and MidnightBSD keep no list this site reads, so their row is only an estimate: FreeBSD's ranges applied to upstream's version.
| System | Port | Version | State | Fixed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DragonFly | x11/yelp | 42.3 | fixed | |
| OpenBSD | x11/gnome/yelp | 49.2 | out of range, by version | |
| NetBSD | misc/yelp3 | 42.3nb1 | listed since 2025-06-14 | |
| MidnightBSD | x11/yelp | 42.3 | out of range, by version | |
| FreeBSD | x11/yelp | 42.3_2 | fixed |
