Control: affects -1 + src:exuberant-ctags
[ Reason ]
I'd like to belatedly fix CVE-2022-4515 in bullseye.
[ Impact ]
Security vulnerability as described in
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2022-4515, though the
security team has marked it no-dsa and asked that any fix go via a point
release instead.
[ Tests ]
I tested this manually by calling ctags with various -o options, e.g.
"ctags -o 'a b' -R", and checking that it produces the requested output
file names.
[ Risks ]
The fix is just a straight cherry-pick from bookworm (which in turn was
backported as closely as possible from universal-ctags upstream), and
while I hate the continued use of system(3) here it's probably better
than introducing a novel rewrite for a security update.
[ Checklist ]
[x] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog
[x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[x] attach debdiff against the package in (old)stable
[x] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable
[ Changes ]
As attached. git-dpm has introduced a small amount of additional noise;
I didn't think it was worth the effort to persuade it to avoid that in
this case.
Thanks,

+From: Masatake YAMATO <yam...@redhat.com>
+Date: Mon, 24 Oct 2016 23:52:23 +0900
+Subject: main: quote output file name before passing it to system(3) function
+
+Following command line doesn't work:
+
+ $ ctags -o 'a b' ...
+
+because a shell lauched from system(3) deals a whitespace between 'a'
+and 'b' as a separator. The output file name is passed to system(3)
+to run external sort command.
+
+This commit adds code to put double and single quoets around the output
+file name before passing it to system(3).
+
+The issue is reported by Lorenz Hipp <lh...@idealbonn.de> in a private mail.
