evince command line injection

A command injection vulnerability was discovered in evince, a document viewer for multiple document formats. The vulnerability is caused due to the improper sanitization of user-supplied input when handling .cbt files. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by creating a malicious .cbt file and tricking a user into opening it with evince. This will allow the attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the vulnerable system.

Mitigation:

Users should avoid opening untrusted .cbt files with evince. Additionally, administrators should ensure that evince is updated to the latest version.
