Subject: Deleting a directory with the same name as a shortcut deletes everything in CWD
Date: Mon, 8 Aug 2022 13:50:22 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4b9acea9-b098-2c06-4530-10a4e9ca42b6@oskog97.com> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1.1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 676 bytes --]
Deleting a directory with the same name as a shortcut deletes everything
in the current working directory.
Tested on:
CYGWIN_NT-10.0-19044 3.3.5-341.x86_64 2022-05-13 12:27 UTC x86_64 Cygwin
CYGWIN_NT-10.0-22000 3.3.5-341.x86_64 2022-05-13 12:27 UTC x86_64 Cygwin
Script to reproduce the bug (also in the tar):
#!/bin/bash
echo 'EVERY FILE IN THE CURRENT WORKING DIRECTORY WILL BE DELETED!'
read -p "Enter 'sure' to continue: " var
echo $var | grep -q sure || exit 1
do_stuff ()
{
mkdir foo
touch Foo.lnk
if [ -d foo ]; then
rm -rf foo
fi
}
do_stuff
do_stuff
# All files in the current working directory are now GONE!
