Package: subversion Version: 1.1.3-3 Severity: important [Setting to important, as the bug has security/privacy implications.]
When I do a "svn diff" in a directory where a symbolic link has been added, Subversion does a diff on this link, even when the file pointed to is a binary file. The consequence is that these binary data are sent to the terminal (in my case, xterm). This had two very bad side effects: 1) The terminal was trashed (I had to do a "reset"). 2) A part of the data was sent to the printer! I suppose that some escape sequence was interpreted as a request for printing. Note: I posted a message about this problem to the Subversion dev mailing-list on 25 Mar 2005, but I haven't got any reply yet. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.10-20050318 Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO8859-1 (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages subversion depends on: ii db4.2-util 4.2.52-18 Berkeley v4.2 Database Utilities ii libapr0 2.0.53-5 the Apache Portable Runtime ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libdb4.2 4.2.52-18 Berkeley v4.2 Database Libraries [ ii libexpat1 1.95.8-1 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libldap2 2.1.30-3 OpenLDAP libraries ii libneon24 0.24.7.dfsg-1 An HTTP and WebDAV client library ii libssl0.9.7 0.9.7e-3 SSL shared libraries ii libsvn0 1.1.3-3 shared libraries used by Subversio ii libxml2 2.6.16-6 GNOME XML library ii patch 2.5.9-2 Apply a diff file to an original ii zlib1g 1:1.2.2-4 compression library - runtime -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
