  3. CVE-2024-41921
A code injection vulnerability has been discovered in the Robot Operating System (ROS) 'rostopic' command-line tool, affecting ROS distributions Noetic Ninjemys and earlier. The vulnerability lies in the 'echo' verb, which allows a user to introspect a ROS topic and accepts a user-provided Python expression via the --filter option. This input is passed directly to the eval() function without sanitization, allowing a local user to craft and execute arbitrary code.

Summary
  • (es) Se ha descubierto una vulnerabilidad de inyección de código en la herramienta de línea de comandos "rostopic" del Robot Operating System (ROS), que afecta a las distribuciones de ROS Noetic Ninjemys y anteriores. La vulnerabilidad reside en el verbo "echo", que permite al usuario introspectar un tema de ROS y aceptar una expresión de Python proporcionada por el usuario mediante la opción --filter. Esta entrada se pasa directamente a la función eval() sin depurar, lo que permite a un usuario local manipular y ejecutar código arbitrario.
