NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream xonix package and not the xonix package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

x11.c in xonix 1.4 and earlier uses the current working directory to find and execute the rmail program, which allows local users to execute arbitrary code by modifying the path to point to a malicious rmail program.
