Before upgrading, check any applicable distribution's xterm settings to avoid accidental code execution. For example, the vi line-editing mode of Ubuntu 16.04 is configured as follows: As a precaution, before upgrading, check any applicable distribution's xterm settings to avoid accidental code execution. For example, the vi line-editing mode of Ubuntu 16.04 is configured as follows: "Xterm*VT100.font: DejaVu Sans Mono:p:135:50:*" This results in the vi command being executed when the OSC response has Ctrl-g. The same settings are used by some other distributions, such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 uses the following settings: "Xterm*VT100.font: DejaVu Sans Mono:p:135:50:*" This results in the vi command being executed when the OSC response has Ctrl-g.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 uses the following settings: "Xterm*VT100.font: DejaVu Sans Mono:p:135:50:*" This results in the vi command being executed when the OSC response has Fn-g. The same settings are used by some other distributions, such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 uses the following settings:-
Before upgrading, check any applicable distribution's xterm settings to avoid accidental code execution. For example, the vi line-editing mode of Ubuntu 16.04 is configured as follows:-
"Xterm*VT100.font: DejaVu Sans Mono:p:135:50:-*" This results in the vi command being executed when there is no key press on Ctrl-g

Debian-Based Systems

Debian-based systems, such as Ubuntu 16.04, require a patch to prevent accidental code execution.
Debian-based systems need to be patched before upgrading so that the vi command will not execute when the OSC response has Ctrl-g. Here is how you can apply this patch: "Xterm*VT100.font: DejaVu Sans Mono:p:135:50:*" This results in the vi command being executed when the OSC response has Ctrl-g.
