Debian Linux Security Advisory 5437-1 - Gregor Kopf of Secfault Security GmbH discovered that HSQLDB, a Java SQL database engine, allowed the execution of spurious scripting commands in .script and .log files. Hsqldb supports a "SCRIPT" keyword which is normally used to record the commands input by the database admin to output such a script. In combination with LibreOffice, an attacker could craft an odb containing a "database/script" file which itself contained a SCRIPT command where the contents of the file could be written to a new file whose location was determined by the attacker.

Package : hsqldb
CVE ID : CVE-2023-1183
Gregor Kopf of Secfault Security GmbH discovered that HSQLDB, a Java SQL
database engine, allowed the execution of spurious scripting commands in
.script and .log files. Hsqldb supports a "SCRIPT" keyword which is normally
used to record the commands input by the database admin to output such a
script. In combination with LibreOffice, an attacker could craft an odb
containing a "database/script" file which itself contained a SCRIPT command
where the contents of the file could be written to a new file whose location
was determined by the attacker.
For the oldstable distribution (bullseye), this problem has been fixed
in version 2.5.1-1+deb11u2.
For the stable distribution (bookworm), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.7.1-1+deb12u1.
We recommend that you upgrade your hsqldb packages.
