Correct?
I'm mostly siding with the others on the list saying this is both very old, and mostly a non-issue, but the problem shown isn't in called programs, like rm, but of the shell. If there ever is to be a fix for this, it'd probably be to have an option of the shell to warn the user that there are strings in any expanded variables that may be interpreted as -arguments. _______________________________________________ Sent through the Full Disclosure mailing list http://nmap.org/mailman/listinfo/fulldisclosure Web Archives & RSS: http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/
