Bug#261162: Processed: reassign 261162 to mime-support, affects 261162

2009-12-08 Thread Brian White
  Sorry to say, I don't think there's any way to fix this.  I can't write
 to
  the current directory and I can't pass a filename with shell
 meta-characters
  to the command.

 What's so hard on properly escaping this?


It's impossible because there is no way to know how it will be injected into
the command line.  Imagine these two mailcap command entries:

myprog %s
myprog '%s'

There is no way to escape the meta-characters such that it will be correct
in both cases when substituted for %s.  Since the contents of the mailcap
files is under user control, both of the above are possible.
