Package: menu
Version: 2.1.46
Severity: normal
Hello,
it seems su-to-root wrapper script doesn't handle well calls which use multiple
commands.
Scenario where I've discovered this:
After installing system-config-lvm package (1.1.16-1), the utility doesn't run
under a non-root user (using standard GNOME 3.4). It tries to run the following
command:
su-to-root -X -c "invoke-rc.d lvm2 start ;
/usr/share/system-config-lvm/system-config-lvm.py";
It seems that without invoking a shell to handle the two commands only the
first will be run under root privilages.
Here's a fix using printf that seems to correct the problem (only for gksu,
which is used in wheezy):
@@ -105,3 +105,3 @@
case $SU_TO_ROOT_X in
- gksu) gksu -u "$PRIV" "$COMMAND";;
+ gksu) gksu -u "$PRIV" "sh -c $(printf %q "$COMMAND")";;
gksudo) gksudo -u "$PRIV" "$COMMAND";;
p.s. if this is more of a gksu issue, please forward where necessary
Regards,
Ivan
