Subject: [musl] Bug in mntent.c: whitespace characters are not escaped
Date: Tue, 14 Dec 2021 10:01:09 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87o85j8sru.fsf@atufi.org> (raw)
Hello,
The musl implementation of getmntent does not handle octal escape sequences
as the manual getmntent(3) says:
> Since fields in the mtab and fstab files are separated by
> whitespace, octal escapes are used to represent the characters
> space (\040), tab (\011), newline (\012), and backslash (\\) in
> those files when they occur in one of the four strings in a
> mntent structure. The routines addmntent() and getmntent() will
> convert from string representation to escaped representation and
> back. When converting from escaped representation, the sequence
> \134 is also converted to a backslash.
(See resulting bug <https://github.com/libfuse/libfuse/issues/634>.)
Best,
Daniel Gerber
