hi,
I'm really struggling with this and i would very pleased if you could
help me.
I'm using a perl script to extend snmp functionality.
As you already now, when snmp "passes" the control to the perl script,
it enables the flag "-T" . Therefore, the problem is that i can't use
any tainted var inside the script.
so... i want to do things like this:
***********
my $path = $ARGV[3];
chown 0, 0, "/tmp/$path";
***********
and perl complains that the var is "tainted".
I perfectly understand that... and all the security reasons to work like
that... but....
1. how can i "untain" that var?
2. can i modify the way that snmp works to disable that "-T" flag when
it passes the control to the perl script?
i've tried to untain the var with any means i've found, like this one:
*********
$path =~ s/;//g;
*********
but none has worked so far.
do you have any ideas?
Thank you very much.
