Package: logrotate
Version: 3.7.8-4
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software
If the directory of a log file specification with wild cards does not exist,
logrotate may mis-parse the config file so badly that it will rotate arbitrary
files appearing in the postrotate script.
Imagine that /bin/sh appears there and it is rotated to /bin/sh.1 . Ouch.
If logrotate fails to parse the config, it must abort, and not
clobber random files.
The interesting part of the "logrotate -d /etc/logrotate.conf" output is
provided below. This is
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apache2/+bug/392532 and causes the
apache2 init script to be rotated away.
I could not reproduce this under lenny. I guess it was introduced in 3.7.8.
