-https://github.com/akrennmair/newsbeuter/issues/591
-https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=2017-12904
-
-Patch copied from the Debian package of newsbeuter, version 2.9-5+deb9u1.

-
-https://github.com/akrennmair/newsbeuter/commit/96e9506ae9e252c548665152d1b8968297128307
-
-Description: Fix a RCE vulnerability in the bookmark command
- Newsbeuter didn't properly escape the title and description fields before
- passing them to the bookmarking program which could lead to remote code
- execution using the shells command substitution functionality (e.g. "$()", ``,
- etc)
