Tighten security on file imports
Hi, I just saw the changeset 389[1], and I think this is going the wrong way. Security should be tighten, but trying to keep the restrictions on files as much as possible (not the other way). What is the point on not allowing, for example, "+", "-", " " and a whole lot of harmless chars? I really can't understand that change. Related to this is bug 3420[2] (with a partial, Linux/Posix-only, patch written by me), why tries to keep security loosing restrictions. You even accept "." chars in the name (in the dumb check for valid characters), which is the most harmful char that ever existed =) [1] http://www.dsource.org/projects/dmd/changeset/389 [2] http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3420 -- -- Leandro Lucarella (AKA luca) http://llucax.com.ar/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GPG Key: 5F5A8D05 (F8CD F9A7 BF00 5431 4145 104C 949E BFB6 5F5A 8D05) ----------------------------------------------------------------------
