Package: busybox
Version: 1:1.01-2
Severity: normal

If /sbin/init is a /bin/sh script using busybox sh, then when this
script tries to run a program that in turn forks and runs a program in
the PATH, running that program will fail. PATH is set by busybox sh to a
default value, but it's not exported.

Take a look at bug #328729 for an example.

Of course if busybox init is used, it sets PATH in a way that causes it
to be available to child processes. So this doesn't affect most uses of
busybox.
