Description:
A vulnerability has been identified in Mozart installed on Debian Linux, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The problem is that the entry in mailcap for Mozart passes Oz applications directly to the Oz interpreter for execution. This could be exploited to cause any program honouring the mailcap entry to execute arbitrary code on a user's system with the privileges of the user via eg. a malicious link in a browser.
