DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in Oboinus, which can be exploited
by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to the application not properly
sanitising the filename of images before using them in a "system()"
call. This can be exploited to inject and execute arbitrary shell
commands by tricking a user into opening an image file with a
specially crafted filename.

The vulnerability is reported in version 2.1. Prior versions may also
be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 2.2.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Reported by the vendor.
