Hi, Following the recent case of #1032122 (chkrootkit: bad redirection creating file '1'?) and previously #1030120 (ipmiutil: cron script is creating file /root/1), I tried using Debian CodeSearch to look for other possible wrong cases like those and here is for instance a list of candidates to check: https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=%5B12%5D%26%3E%5B12%5D&literal=0 (including surprising cases related to linux_6.1.12)
So what do I do next? Check each case and for each true one, fill a bug? Are there tools to check shell scripts that could be used to detect/prevent/notify on this? But moreover using the CodeSearch form, it is not easy using the literal search. For instance 2&>1 gives some result whereas &>1 does not. Is there a bug or does such a query go beyond some limit? Regards, Patrice
