Title
OS command injection in Amazon Athena ODBC driver on Linux
Summary
OS command injection in the browser-based authentication component in Amazon Athena ODBC driver before 2.0.5.1 on Linux might allow a threat actor to execute arbitrary code by using specially crafted connection parameters that are loaded by the driver during a local user-initiated connection.
To remediate this issue, users should upgrade to version 2.0.5.1 or later.
