Bug ID: 271240
Summary: periodic(8) output mangles in e-mails/uses
non-portable/-neutral date formats
Product: Base System
Version: 12.4-RELEASE
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Some People
Priority: ---
Component: bin
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
This is basically a re-report of https://github.com/freebsd/pkg/issues/2126 for
the base system.
Here is the diff from the setuid script (/var/log/setuid.today):
+ 865 -r-sr-xr-x 1 root wheel 6600 30 Nov. 07:24:56 2022
/usr/local/bastille/jails/deblndw013x10j/root/usr/libexec/ulog-helper
+ 231654 -rwsr-xr-x 1 root wheel 54096 28 März 14:17:14 2023

+ 15861 -r-sr-sr-x 2 root authpf 39608 30 Nov. 07:29:24 2022
/usr/local/bastille/jails/deblndw013x10j/root/usr/sbin/authpf
März is mangled because the sender (periodic(8)) cannot set the content
encoding on the e-mail. So, basically dependending on the locale the output can
be mangled completely or readable if plain ASCII is used.
The source of error comes from:
root@deblndw011x2j:/etc/periodic
# grep -r "exec ls " .
./security/100.chksetuid: \( -perm -u+s -or -perm -g+s \) -exec ls
-liTd \{\} \+ |
./security/110.neggrpperm: -exec ls -liTd \{\} \+ | tee /dev/stderr |
wc -l)
After a patch it looks decent and neutral:
# ./security/110.neggrpperm
Checking negative group permissions:
525974 -------rw- 1 root wheel 0 2023-05-04T13:02:50 /tmp/you
One needs to switch '-T' with:
57 -exec ls -lid -D "%FT%T" \{\} \+ | tee /dev/stderr | wc -l)
Thus with '-D "%FT%T"'.
Willing to provide a Git-formatted patch for both scripts.
