Maybe someone had an idea for putting a vulnerability into a GNU utility.
Personally, I expected that a project such as Savannah wouldn't be vulnerable to an attack as simple as SQL injection.
Seconded. But then again, the GNU source code is mostly C, isn't it? They're used to doing things that most developers would consider intractable and therefore impossible to do safely: such as comprehensively sanitizing inputs so you can safely construct a query string out of them.
"Hey, those web guys say sanitizing inputs is effectively impossible. Should we really be doing this?"
"Snort. That's what they say about manually deallocating memory, too."
"Oh yeah! What a bunch of wimps! I'll get right to work on the query builder."

- rryyan 16y agoGoing further: how about a vulnerability in every program compiled with gcc? I'll just leave this here: http://cm.bell-labs.com/who/ken/trust.html http://cm.bell-labs.com/who/ken/trust.html
- riffraff 16y agoI'm pretty sure savannah is php, forked from the original *forge code, so not really a fault of the people who wrote ls and gcc.
