install/57782: sysinst doesn't quote paths properly in shell commands
>Number: 57782
>Category: install
>Synopsis: sysinst doesn't quote paths properly in shell commands
>Confidential: no
>Severity: serious
>Priority: medium
>Responsible: install-manager
>State: open
>Class: sw-bug
>Submitter-Id: net
>Arrival-Date: Mon Dec 18 16:15:00 +0000 2023
>Originator: Taylor R Campbell
>Release: current
>Organization:
The NetBSD Sysinstallation
>Environment:
>Description:
Whenever sysinst passes user-specified paths through run_program with %s, any shell metacharacters such as spaces are interpreted by the shell rather than as part of the path.
>How-To-Repeat:
1. Start an install.
2. In the partition manager, create a mount point with a space in it.
3. Watch sysinst get confused.
(This will probably proceed to trigger a bug in programs that interpret fstab even if we fix sysinst, but let's take it one step at a time and open another bug for that if it comes to it.)
>Fix:
Yes, please!
