From: prajnoha@sourceware.org To: lvm-devel@redhat.com, lvm2-cvs@sourceware.org Subject: LVM2 ./WHATS_NEW lib/misc/lvm-file.c Date: Wed, 08 Jun 2011 08:49:00 -0000 [thread overview] Message-ID: <20110608084954.2300.qmail@sourceware.org> (raw) CVSROOT: /cvs/lvm2 Module name: LVM2 Changes by: prajnoha@sourceware.org 2011-06-08 08:49:54 Modified files: . : WHATS_NEW lib/misc : lvm-file.c Log message: Fix create_temp_name to replace any '/' found in the hostname with '?'. There's a possibility someone will use the '/' in the hostname. Since we generate a temporary file name (path) including the hostname, any '/' would be ambiguous. We can always set such hostname using 'sethostname' from unistd.h. But the 'hostname' command already includes the check and removes the '/' char. However, some old versions still allow that. See: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=711445. Since this is only a temporary name and the possibility of this error is quite negligible, we don't need any complex escape sequence here, just a simple char replace.
