Subject: [Edbrowse-dev] wordexp
Date: Fri, 13 Feb 2015 16:47:27 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87bnkxmi8w.fsf@mushroom.localdomain> (raw)

I recently learned that the wordexp function may have security issues on
some operating systems.
http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2015/02/11/3

So my question is this.  Are we passing any untrusted input to wordexp?
Or does it just expand filenames obtained from the user at the keyboard?
