Bug #887: Environment variable leak in blastwave provider
http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/887

Author: Francois Deppierraz
Status: Ready for Testing
Priority: Normal
Assigned to: 
Category: exec
Target version: 0.25.2
Patch: None
Affected version: 0.25.1
Keywords: 
Branch: http://github.com/MarkusQ/puppet/tree/ticket/0.25.x/887


In provider/package/blastwave.rb:

<pre>
    # This is so stupid, but then, so is blastwave.
    ENV[[PAGER]] = "/usr/bin/cat"
</pre>

This environment variable leaks in all other types (such as exec). This could 
lead to strange behaviours of script launched by an exec because under some OS 
/usr/bin/cat does not exist.

This problem appeared during an automated Vmware Workstation installation, the 
vmware-install.pl script failed when run with PAGER=/usr/bin/cat.
