Bug#781091: clamav-freshclam: illegal characters in init script
Package: clamav-freshclam Version: 0.98.6+dfsg-0+deb7u1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, Please check pathfind() function in /etc/init.d/clamav-freshclam. All double quotes (, ASCII 34, 0x22) are replaced by strange UTF-8 byte sequences e2 80 9d (U+201D, RIGHT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK). The latest 0.98.6+dfsg-1 also suffers from this.

Dear Sebastian, Please check pathfind() function in /etc/init.d/clamav-freshclam. All double quotes (, ASCII 34, 0x22) are replaced by strange UTF-8 byte sequences e2 80 9d (U+201D, RIGHT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK). aside from the fact that this should not be there, do you have limitations / problems with this? I'm going to fix this but I just wanted to know what problems this causes. Do you mean beyond confusing the user with no UTF-8 capable terminal? :-) Probably no functional error is expected. But after the two make_dir function call in line 278, 279 special variable IFS contains unwanted chars too that may - in theory - cause problems in word splitting later. Look this for example: chown $DatabaseOwner $PidFile If unquoted $DatabaseOwner (that may be be overridden by config file) - accidentally - contains any of the above bytes the command will be applied to more than one file. (Errr... $PidFile is also vulnerable.) Gabor -- A mug of beer, please. Shaken, not stirred. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
