Title: Message Title

Gert van Dijk commented on PUP-3602   Re: Do not convert strings that are on the form "0e<digits>" to floating point Thanks for finding and fixing this. Just wanted to confirm the following: Is it true that this comparison is not used in managing resource content? (and thus not a security issue and thus only applied to the future parser) E.g. 3.7.2 appears not to be affected by it in this way: ⟫ echo -ne 'QNKCDZO' > /tmp/puppettest ⟫ puppet apply -e "file { '/tmp/puppettest': content => '240610708'}" Notice: Compiled catalog for myhostname in environment production in 0.07 seconds Notice: /Stage[main]/Main/File[/tmp/puppettest]/content: content changed '{md5}0e830400451993494058024219903391' to '{md5}0e462097431906509019562988736854' Add Comment   This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.7#6337-sha1:2ed701e) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Bugs" group.
