Summary
CVE-2023-50254 is a design flaw affecting Deepin Linux's default document reader, `deepin-reader`, prior to version 6.0.7. Maliciously crafted docx documents can lead to file overwrite vulnerabilities, enabling attackers to execute remote commands. These commands can be executed when the user opens the terminal, potentially resulting in significant system compromises. Specifically, files like .bash_rc and .bash_login can be overwritten, allowing the attacker to gain persistent access to the system. Version 6.0.7 includes a patch to mitigate this issue.
