Source: adduser Version: 3.137 Control: affects -1 src:shadow Severity: serious
Hi, in #1076619 it was reported that usernames ending with backslashes break useradd/usermod/userdel, etc (from src:shadow). Allowing backslashes was a Debian patch. To fix #1076619, backslashes are now forbidden. However, adduser's autopkgtests assume that backslashes are good to use. Please stop using backslashes. I've filed this as sev: serious, as it prevents the fix for #1076619 from entering testing, and the release-team considers packages out-of-sync between testing and unstable to have an rc-bug. Chris
