Package: adduser Version: 3.152 Severity: important X-Debbugs-Cc: ilm...@ilmari.org
Dear Maintainer, When trying to remove myself from the systemd-journal group with the command sudo deluser ilmari systemd-journal I get the error: invalid characters in input string, see trace output for more details at /usr/share/perl5/Debian/AdduserCommon.pm line 143. If I run it again with --stderrmsglevel trace, it looks like there's an extra round of `sanitize_string` with the default pattern happening: trace: process names ilmari trace: sanitize_string ilmari against (?^aa:^([^-+~:,\s/][^:,\s/]*)$) trace: sanitize_string returning ilmari trace: process names systemd-journal trace: sanitize_string systemd-journal against (?^aa:^([^-+~:,\s/][^:,\s/]*)$) trace: sanitize_string returning systemd-journal trace: sanitize_string ilmari against (?^u:[a-zA-Z0-9 _]*) trace: sanitize_string returning ilmari trace: sanitize_string systemd-journal against (?^u:[a-zA-Z0-9 _]*) Comparing that to the output from adding a user to the same group, that only does the first round of sanitation, against the more relaxed pattern. -- System Information: Debian Release: 13.0 APT prefers testing-security APT policy: (500, 'testing-security'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: arm64 (aarch64) Kernel: Linux 6.12.35+deb13-arm64 (SMP w/2 CPU threads) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_GB:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages adduser depends on: ii passwd 1:4.17.4-2 adduser recommends no packages.
