Package: bash
Severity: normal
I assume this bug does not exist anymore in version 4.3 as a binary file
appears to only be detected when a nul octet is present within the 80 first
bytes.
According to global.c file:
/* Return non-zero if the characters from SAMPLE are not all valid
characters to be found in the first line of a shell script. We
check up to the first newline, or SAMPLE_LEN, whichever comes first.
All of the characters must be printable or whitespace. */
int
check_binary_file (sample, sample_len)
char *sample;
int sample_len;
{
register int i;
unsigned char c;
for (i = 0; i < sample_len; i++)
{
c = sample[i];
if (c == '\n')
return (0);
if (c == '\0')
return (1);
}
return (0);
}
