Package: cvsps Version: 2.1-1 Severity: normal The "-d" flag is not documented to be picky, but it is -- very picky. But when the user specifies a bad date string, it silently misinterprest that string.
The code looks for a string of the form '1999-12-31 23:59:59' (with specific spacing and punctuation). Failing that, it uses atoi() to interpret the string as a Unix time_t value. But it does this silently, and it ignores any non-numeric values. This is buggy, and also very very unfriendly. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-1-686 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages cvsps depends on: ii cvs 1:1.12.9-17 Concurrent Versions System ii libc6 2.3.6-4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-11 compression library - runtime cvsps recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
