Scheduled Release 8.2406.0 (aka 2024.06) 2024-06-??
- 2024-04-12: bugfixes related to time_t on 32 bit platforms (y38k isue)
Thanks to Michael Biebl for the patch.
- 2024-04-18: [o|i]mprog/mmexternal bugfix: invalid command line parameter passing
Quoted command line parameters were incorrectly passed to the called program. This
resulted in unexpected behaviour. For example, in
bash -c "echo test"
bash got passed parameters '-c" and '"echo test"'. Note the double quotes in
'"echo test"'. These needed to be removed by Unix/Linux standards but were instead
passed to bash. That in turn resulted in invalid execution. With the fix, the
behaviour is now correct. Now, bash gets passed '-c' and 'echo test'.
This actually is a BREAKING CHANGE. However, it was outright wrong behaviour from
the beginning. We assume that people either never noticed it (because they did not
use quoted parameters) or used some workaroud, likely a "starter script", which
performed the right task. As such, we do expect that only a very limited set of
installations might be affected by the change.
Even more important, we would need to change the default behaviour in any case,
because the previous handling was obviosuly unacceptable. As such, there was no
way to keep rsyslog perform the previous action.
Thanks to Paul Fertser for the patch.
