Description

I have noticed inconsistency in taint flag of program name:

[jrusnack@dhcp-31-42 ruby-safe]$ cat tainted.rb
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
puts "$0:            #{$0}, tainted? #{$0.tainted?}"
puts "__FILE__:      #{__FILE__}, tainted? #{__FILE__.tainted?}"
puts "$PROGRAM_NAME: #{$PROGRAM_NAME}, tainted? #{$PROGRAM_NAME.tainted?}"

[jrusnack@dhcp-31-42 ruby-safe]$ rvm use 1.8.7
Using /home/jrusnack/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.8.7-p374

[jrusnack@dhcp-31-42 ruby-safe]$ ./tainted.rb
$0:            ./tainted.rb, tainted? true
__FILE__:      ./tainted.rb, tainted? false
$PROGRAM_NAME: ./tainted.rb, tainted? true

[jrusnack@dhcp-31-42 ruby-safe]$ rvm use 1.9.3
Using /home/jrusnack/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p484

[jrusnack@dhcp-31-42 ruby-safe]$ ./tainted.rb
$0:            ./tainted.rb, tainted? false
__FILE__:      ./tainted.rb, tainted? true
$PROGRAM_NAME: ./tainted.rb, tainted? false

[jrusnack@dhcp-31-42 ruby-safe]$ rvm use 2.0.0
Using /home/jrusnack/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p353

[jrusnack@dhcp-31-42 ruby-safe]$ ./tainted.rb
$0:            ./tainted.rb, tainted? false
__FILE__:      ./tainted.rb, tainted? true
$PROGRAM_NAME: ./tainted.rb, tainted? false

I guess it's a regression introduced in r20656.
Or did you mean not to taint $0, Yugui?

My expectation to tainted.rb output is what 1.8.7 outputs. This seems like a regression to me.

  • Backport deleted (1.9.3: UNKNOWN, 2.0.0: UNKNOWN, 2.1: UNKNOWN)

It looks like $0, __FILE__, and $PROGRAM_NAME have been not tainted since 2.1. I'm not sure if this is still considered a bug or not.
