[OCLUG-Tech] Recent OpenSSH vulnerability

Hello fellow Linux and probably other unices supported by OpenSSH
portable.

C hackers here, anybody else see that recent OpenSSH vulnerability? Is
it just me or was it just a bad idea to use system(3) there. I read the
upstream advisory, and it's kinda funny that they talk about *blacklist*
a bunch of chars in there instead of using execlp/fork or popen and
friends?

Regards,

Alex Pilon

P.S. Bruce. I'll get to your other email some time soon. Work.
