NVD Description

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

Firejail through 0.9.62 mishandles shell metacharacters during use of the --output or --output-stderr option, which may lead to command injection.
