Package: speech-dispatcher
Version: 0.7-6
Severity: serious
Tags: patch
Justification: Policy 10.8
Hi,
/etc/logrotate.d/speech-dispatcher is badly written. Some options are
set outside of blocs so that they apply to all the blocs that are
subsequently treated : those that are alphabetically sorted after
speech-dispatcher and the wtmp/utmp blocs since they appear after the
inclusion of /etc/logrotate.d/* in /etc/logrotate.conf.
As for the severity of this bug, I know it is somewhat exagerated since
10.8 do not forbid 'out-of-bloc' options in /etc/logrotate.d files, but
I think the side effects of this bug are nasty enough to be treated
before squeeze release (if it's still time).
By the way, it would be nice if such an anti-social behaviour would be
forbidden by the policy ;-).
Feel free to lower security if I'm wrong.
TIA
