Package: busybox Version: 1:1.20.0-7 Severity: important Tags: upstream fixed-upstream patch pending
busybox implementation of awk splits current line into fields after assignment to FS (field separator) variable, but POSIX mandates it does that before the assignment. This may lead to valid (according to POSIX) awk scripts being interpreted incorrectly by busybox awk, which may lead to silent "surprizes". This has been fixed in upstream commit df8066a78ccd9b899244145f6be0171957a41a1e, which is a one-line change (plus comment describing what it is all about). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
