Message-ID: <91Dec12.103008cst.18907@archone.tamu.edu> (raw)
I just thought of a hole: importing functions from the environment.
e.g.,
foo:
#!/bin/rc --
echo hi
can be foiled with
; fn echo {/bin/sh}
; foo
or even
#!/bin/rc --
exec mount /pcfs
can be foiled with
; fn exec {/bin/sh}
; foo
Then again, Duff mentions "-p" in one of the rc papers, so this one
does not get any credit.
Might it be worth adding "-p" to rc, or would it encourage a false
sense of security? I guess that's what I am driving at.
