Well i would not blame this on terminal emulators.
And the escape sequences in the poc exploit i wrote are not related with
ANSI escape code "exploit".
They are features of terminal emulators.
echo -e "\e]2;;ls;\a\e[21t\abash-2.05b$\e[8m;"
You can try this one in xterm.You will see bash-2.05b$ , if you type
some command and hit enter, "ls" command in the escape sequence will be
executed too. (thanks to bloofar for the hint)
You can read more on "TERMINAL EMULATOR SECURITY ISSUES" paper written
by H D Moore. The paper also covers old vulnerabilities in terminal
emulators.
