Follow the URL above. You get:

  Insecure dependency in system while running with -T switch at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/PatchReader/CVSClient.pm line 60.

I cannot reproduce this problem in Bugzilla 3.0.4+, which makes me think bug 410902 could be the culprit. Investigating!

OK, I don't get it at all. In /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/PatchReader/Raw.pm, next_line() contains:

  if ($line =~ /^---\s*(\S+)\s*\t([^\t\r\n]*)\s*(\S*)/) {
    [...]
    $this->{FILE_STATE}{old_revision} = $3 if $3;

and guess what? Adding the line

    die "bah, $3 is tainted!!" if is_tainted($3);

dies, meaning that $3 is tainted. How is that possible??? The goal of the regexp is to untaint the data.

That's ridiculous. $line itself is not tainted, but $3 is!

That sounds like a bug in Perl itself. I've seen those from time to time, with taint mode.

So why can I only reproduce the problem with Bugzilla 3.1.4/3.3 but not with 3.0.4?

Interesting, $attachment->{data} = Encode::decode_utf8($attachment->data); causes the problem. Without this line, context=file is working fine. What I don't understand is that is_tainted($attachment->data) returns false, both before and after the call to decode_utf8().

OK, the problem only occurs with Perl 5.8.8, but doesn't with Perl 5.8.1, 5.8.5 nor with 5.10.0. Upgrading Encoding.pm from 2.12 (the version used in Perl 5.8.8) to 2.25 (latest release) doesn't help.

Replace Encode::decode_utf8() by utf8::decode() to work around a bug in Perl 5.8.8. My testing shows no regression. himorin, could you confirm?

reproduced on perl 5.8.8 and worked fine with the patch.
system environment with checksetup.pl is as the followings. (debian etch with my package repository of perl packages)
