VTE, as used by default in gnome-terminal terminal emulator 2.2 and as an option in gnome-terminal 2.0, allows attackers to modify the window title via a certain character escape sequence and then insert it back to the command line in the user's terminal, e.g. when the user views a file containing the malicious sequence, which could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary commands.

CVE-2010-2713 [MEDIUM] GHSA-h3vh-54q4-255x: The vte_sequence_handler_window_manipulation function in vteseq
The vte_sequence_handler_window_manipulation function in vteseq.c in libvte (aka libvte9) in VTE 0.25.1 and earlier, as used in gnome-terminal, does not properly handle escape sequences, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands or obtain potentially sensitive information via a (1) window title or (2) icon title sequence. NOTE: this issue exists because of a CVE-2003-0070 regression.

CVE-2010-2713 [MEDIUM] CVE-2010-2713 vte: responds to get window title escape sequence request
CVE-2010-2713 vte: responds to get window title escape sequence request
It was reported to Ubuntu that vte regressed the fix for CVE-2003-0070 in the following upstream commit:
http://git.gnome.org/browse/vte/commit/?id=58bc3a942f198a1a8788553ca72c19d7c1702b74
This would allow for an information disclosure of the window title of the gnome-terminal.
This issue does not affect Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 or earlier, which still replace the contents of the window title with "LTerminal", rather than "l[contents of terminal window]"; as demonstrated with:
$ echo -e "\e[21t"
