Description

The Amazon Lab126 com.lab126.system sendEvent implementation on the Kindle Touch before 5.1.2 allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in a string, as demonstrated by using lipc-set-prop to set an LIPC property, a different vulnerability than CVE-2012-4248.
