Subject: Bug#94739: ./.ghci -- isn't it dangerous?
To: Debian Bug Tracking System <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Reply-to: Michal Politowski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Message-id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Package: ghc5
Version: 5.00-1
Severity: normal
ghci will load .ghci from current directory and it can contain :! shell
commands, so if I run ghci in a directory writable by others bad things can
happen eg. to my files.
On the other hand it's useful.
Maybe it could be less dangerous if the immediately damaging stuff (:!) was
disabled and some warning printed if the file was writable (or owned) by someone else?
