Package: dash Version: 0.5.5.1-6 Severity: important "read -r variable" is supposed to prevent escaping chars by using backslash but actually it still allows to do that. Testcase: # read -r input (input: foo\nbar) # echo "$input" foo bar
instead it should not translate \n to newline and therefore output foo\nbar -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.35.7 (PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages dash depends on: ii debianutils 3.4 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii dpkg 1.15.8.5 Debian package management system ii libc6 2.11.2-6 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib dash recommends no packages. dash suggests no packages. -- debconf information: * dash/sh: true -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
