Synopsis
========

A vulnerability has been discovered in Zutty which could allow for
arbitrary code execution.

Background
==========

Zutty is an X terminal emulator rendering through OpenGL ES Compute
Shaders.

Affected packages
=================

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package              /     Vulnerable     /            Unaffected

Description
===========

Zutty does not correctly handle invalid DECRQSS commands, which can be
exploited to run arbitrary commands in the terminal.

Impact

execution.

Workaround
