#1721: Perl ./Configure can leak information from chroot environment -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Owner: [email protected] Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Book | Version: SVN Severity: normal | Keywords: -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- I started to run ./Configure during the chroot build of Perl to experiment. One of the very first steps displayed the uname -r of the host system, so this represents an opportunity for pollution of the LFS system. I did not experiment further to see if there were other information leaks.
At the very least I recommend some research and a note in the book to be cautious. It might be best to recommend reinstalling Perl after booting into the LFS, if one wants to ./Configure. - Marty Jack -- Ticket URL: <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/ticket/1721> LFS Trac <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/> Linux From Scratch: Your Distro, Your Rules. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
