wall in util-linux through 2.40, often installed with setgid tty permissions, allows escape sequences to be sent to other users' terminals through argv. (Specifically, escape sequences received from stdin are blocked, but escape sequences received from argv are not blocked.) There may be plausible scenarios where this leads to account takeover.

According to the versions of the util-linux packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - wall in util-linux through 2.40, often installed with setgid tty permissions, allows escape sequences to     be sent to other users' terminals through argv. (Specifically, escape sequences received from stdin are     blocked, but escape sequences received from argv are not blocked.) There may be plausible scenarios where     this leads to account takeover. (CVE-2024-28085)
