Package: ifupdown
Version: 0.7.43
Severity: normal

The following code is present:

,---- [ /etc/init.d/networking ]
| VERBOSE=no
|
| [ -f /etc/default/networking ] && . /etc/default/networking
|
| [ "$VERBOSE" = yes ] && verbose=-v
|
| [...]
|         log_action_begin_msg "Configuring network interfaces"
|         if ifup -a $exclusions $verbose && ifup_hotplug $exclusions $verbose
| [...]
`----

If $verbose is set in the environment (I just had such a situation
with "verbose=1" in the kernel cmdline of a live system) and VERBOSE
is not set to yes then $verbose from the environment reaches the
'ifup -a $exclusions $verbose' cmdline unfiltered.

Please unset $verbose by default, otherwise it might leave people
without working network in a situation like described above.

regards,
