[limdu] Command Injection in Limdu

Impact

The trainBatch function has a command injection vulnerability. Clients of the Limdu library are unlikely to be aware of this, so they might unwittingly write code that contains a vulnerability.

Patches

Patched in version 0.9.5.

Workarounds

Do not use trainBatch with classifiers that rely on shell execution, such as SVM Perf, SVM Linear or Adaboost
