Hi, I ve got a file in my home directory, that begins with a "-". See the output of du -sh * below. Maybe tomeone could place some nasty files in temp, and whet root does a du, then...
io-ii:/data/sort/johnny # du -sh * du: invalid option -- p Try `du --help' for more information. io-ii:/data/sort/johnny # io-ii:/data/sort/johnny # du -sh -- * 400k -pilot-link.0.9.3.tar.bz2 [...] The exploit below doesn't work: touch \>\ xyz io-ii:/tmp/xxxxx # du -sh * 0 > xyz 0 a 0 aa 0 aaaa Maybe there are some more clever/nasty persons out there, who could develop a "better" exploit. I don't think that root appends -- to every command he types in Don't hesitate to contact me. Thanks in advance, and thank you for developing the GNU utils, Johnny _______________________________________________ Bug-fileutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-fileutils
