Prior to version0.19.2, there is an improper output neutralization vulnerability in AIDE.An attacker can craft a malicious filename by including terminal escapesequences to hide the addition or removal of the file from the reportand/or tamper with the log output. A local user might exploit this tobypass the AIDE detection of malicious files. Additionally the output ofextended attribute key names and symbolic links targets are also notproperly neutralized.
