Fix CVE-2017-12904:
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.
Adapted from upstream source repository:
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)
Origin: upstream, https://github.com/akrennmair/newsbeuter/commit/96e9506ae9e252c548665152d1b8968297128307
