CVE-2019-7653: Canonical Ubuntu Linux

Critical severity, CVSS 9.8. EPSS: 2.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The Debian python-rdflib-tools 4.2.2-1 package for RDFLib 4.2.2 has CLI tools that can load Python modules from the current working directory, allowing code injection, because "python -m" looks in this directory, as demonstrated by rdf2dot. This issue is specific to use of the debian/scripts directory.

Affected products

• Canonical Ubuntu Linux: version 16.04 only
• Debian Debian Linux: version 8.0 only; version 9.0 only
• Rdflib Project Rdflib: version 4.2.2 only
