Issue #4884 has been updated by eric sorenson.

Status changed from Closed to Re-opened
Target version deleted (2.6.8)

Sorry to update on a closed ticket but this is a pretty big behavioural change 
that isn't documented in the release notes, except the following under 2.6.8:

<pre>
Notable Features and Bug Fixes
Bug #4884:

Shell exec provider that executes code as a raw shell script
</pre>

Nor under the current type reference except to note that 'provider =>' shell is 
available.

Could this be punched up a bit? Maybe to include Markus' discussion of the 
security issues at http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4288#note-16

Minimally, some kind of caveat in the 2.6.0 "New features" section of release 
notes, ideally there _plus_ a description on the exec type about how the 
command attribute's parameters get passed to the shell. 

Thanks.

Feature #4884: An exec provider that executes unfiltered bash code.

Author: Jesse Wolfe
Status: Re-opened
Priority: Urgent
Assignee: Daniel Pittman
Category: exec
Target version: 
Affected Puppet version: 
Keywords: 
Branch: 
https://github.com/daniel-pittman/puppet/tree/feature/2.6.next/4884-an-exec-provider-that-executes-unfiltered-bash-code


Some users have been using a workaround to allow Exec resources to run inline 
bash scripts (rather than calling an executable), as seen in the comments on 
#4288

We should consider adding this as a feature; I am opening this ticket for 
discussion.
