Summary

The vulnerability in the Mandriva bash package allows local users to leverage the --show-control-chars option in the LS_OPTIONS variable. This can enable them to send crafted escape sequences to terminal emulators, possibly manipulating the display output in a way that obscures certain files. Such exploitation can pose significant risks, leading to unauthorized actions and information hiding within user environments.
