Last modified

CVE-2006-1166 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Monotone 0.25 and earlier, when a user creates a file in a directory called "mt", and when checking out that file on a case-insensitive file system such as Windows or Mac OS X, places the file into the "MT" bookkeeping directory, which could allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary Lua programs as the user running monotone.. EPSS estimates a 0.31% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
