Package: Xdialog
Version: 2.0.6-3
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
Running
Xdialog --menubox "rotation angle?" 0 0 0 \
"" "erase picture" \
0 "don't rotate" \
90 "clockwise" \
180 "flip over" \
270 "anticlock"
makes the "erase picture" option grayed out. If I click on it, my
system becomes unresponsive for five minutes while all 2.5 GB
memory+swap are allocated. However, the crash is a segfault rather
than "memory exhausted."
If the option is " " rather than "" there is no problem.
Trivial input sanitization is in order here.
