Package: coreutils
Version: 5.97-5
Severity: normal
Steps to reproduce the bug:
1. make a pdf begining with "-p", eg. "-pfoobar.pdf" in Konquerror
(touch won´t work)
2. start a console and change to the directory where the file is
3. type ls -a *.pdf
4. Notice that the file starting with "-p" is not listet.
5. Type kpdf "./-pfoobar.pdf" now kpdf starts with the file.
I think this is a possible security risk, cause it is possible to hide
files. But if you use "ls" without any parameters the file is shown.
Because of this, I used severity normal and nothing higher.
Cheers Stefan

touch will work fine:
touch ./-p
2. start a console and change to the directory where the file is
3. type ls -a *.pdf
4. Notice that the file starting with "-p" is not listet.
5. Type kpdf "./-pfoobar.pdf" now kpdf starts with the file.

That's just the way shell expansion works. Similar things will happen
with any command if you use wildcards. You can use -- to indicate the
end of argument processing:
ls -- *.pdf
