Package: sympa
Version: 6.0.1+dfsg-4
Severity: normal
Hello,
I'm experiencing wwsympa.pl freeze when browsing on the administration pages
of a list using plus signs (+) in its name. The first administration page
displays correctly, but then wwsympa.pl seems to enter an infinite loop (the
process continues to run) and any subsequent request leads to an HTTP timeout.
It takes more than restarting the web server to recover from this crash, the
identification cookie on the user side needs to be deleted too. Probably the
list name is still present in one session variable. Renaming the list and
removing all + signs solved the problem.
But the list creation interface doesn't prevent new list to use the plus sign
again. If this is not a valid character to be used in list names, why is not
caught by the list creation interface?
Thanks for any help,
Antoine.
