Subject: hexified path in cwd audit message if dir no longer exists
Date: Fri, 4 May 2007 17:47:19 -0700	[thread overview]

Redhat es4 x86 monoproc
Kernel 2.6.9-34.EL
Audit 1.0.12-1.EL4

Occasiaonally I get a CWD audit message that has a hexified path in it.
Like this

$1 = "audit(1178324383.479:1566):
cwd=2F70726F632F35373336202864656C6574656429\000
This is "/proc/5736"

The message is coming from a shell process whose current dir is /proc/5736
and 5736 exited The cwd path contains junk after the "6" character - so
audit unstrusted string has hexified it I have not tried with real dirs


 Bug?
