The preflight script for MacFuse Core contains lines such as
/bin/rm -rf $INSTALL_VOLUME/Library/Extensions/fusefs.kext
If INSTALL_VOLUME contains spaces (e.g., "/Volumes/MyDisk 2"), the
script will execute
/bin/rm -rf "/Volumes/MyDisk" "2/Library/Extensions/fusefs.kext"
(quotes added for clarity) which is potentially disastrous (e.g., if
someone also has a disk /Volmes/MyDisk). In shell scripts, if you
have variables that may contain spaces, you *must* put them in quotes.
I don't know whether this script would cause the catastrophic damage
shown above (I suspect it wouldn't, in fact), but I'm not about to try
my luck -- when I see a script that contains both "rm -rf" lines and
has issues with quoting, I back carefully away.
Please fix. Thanks.
M.E.O.
