Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Resource Transfer Between Spheres via the ForwardToWall process. An attacker can inject ANSI escape sequences into user terminals by executing a logger -p emerg command when the relevant configuration is enabled. This is only exploitable if ForwardToWall=yes is set in the configuration.
