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 VTE vulnerability
Title: VTE vulnerability
Summary: arbitrary command execution via terminal escape codes
Janne Snabb discovered that applications using VTE, such as gnome-terminal,
did not correctly filter window and icon title request escape codes. If a
user were tricked into viewing specially crafted output in their terminal,
a remote attacker could execute arbitrary commands with user privileges.
Instructions: After a standard system update you need to restart your session to make
all the necessary changes.

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"
