** Description changed: + [Impact] + + The basic_pop3_auth command immediately fails when run in Bionic. + + Backporting this fix will allow users to authenticate user credentials + against a POP3 server as intended. + + This is fixed by patching in an upstream commit that properly declares + variables in the authentication script. + + [Test Plan] + + # lxc launch images:ubuntu/bionic test + # lxc exec test bash + + # apt update && apt dist-upgrade + # apt install -y squid3 + + # /usr/lib/squid/basic_pop3_auth + + Global symbol "$server" requires explicit package name (did you forget to declare "my $server"?) at /usr/lib/squid/basic_pop3_auth line 92. + Global symbol "$pop" requires explicit package name (did you forget to declare "my $pop"?) at /usr/lib/squid/basic_pop3_auth line 99. + Global symbol "$server" requires explicit package name (did you forget to declare "my $server"?) at /usr/lib/squid/basic_pop3_auth line 99. + Global symbol "$pop" requires explicit package name (did you forget to declare "my $pop"?) at /usr/lib/squid/basic_pop3_auth line 100. + Global symbol "$pop" requires explicit package name (did you forget to declare "my $pop"?) at /usr/lib/squid/basic_pop3_auth line 106. + Global symbol "$pop" requires explicit package name (did you forget to declare "my $pop"?) at /usr/lib/squid/basic_pop3_auth line 111. + Global symbol "$pop" requires explicit package name (did you forget to declare "my $pop"?) at /usr/lib/squid/basic_pop3_auth line 112. + Execution of /usr/lib/squid/basic_pop3_auth aborted due to compilation errors. + + [Where problems could occur] + + Since the authentication is now able to continue without crashing, + problems could occour further down in the script. This could include + modifications to the POP3 server used for authentication. + + The behavior should now match that of the other currently supported + distributions, and the script is external to the rest of squid3, but up + until now this script has not successfully run on Bionic. + + [Original Description] + Ubuntu Xenial perl is v5.22.1 squid3 version 3.5.12-1ubuntu7.5 Running basic_pop3_auth pop3_server gives : Global symbol "$server" requires explicit package name (did you forget to declare "my $server"?) at ./basic_pop3_auth line 92. Global symbol "$pop" requires explicit package name (did you forget to declare "my $pop"?) at ./basic_pop3_auth line 99. Global symbol "$server" requires explicit package name (did you forget to declare "my $server"?) at ./basic_pop3_auth line 99. Global symbol "$pop" requires explicit package name (did you forget to declare "my $pop"?) at ./basic_pop3_auth line 100. Global symbol "$pop" requires explicit package name (did you forget to declare "my $pop"?) at ./basic_pop3_auth line 106. Global symbol "$pop" requires explicit package name (did you forget to declare "my $pop"?) at ./basic_pop3_auth line 111. Global symbol "$pop" requires explicit package name (did you forget to declare "my $pop"?) at ./basic_pop3_auth line 112. ./basic_pop3_auth had compilation errors. adding my before $server on line 92 and before $pop on line 99 solves the problem.
