Subject: [PATCH backup v2 0/3] fix #7054: client: remove trailing newlines from credentials
Date: Fri, 20 Feb 2026 13:38:13 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260220123818.365489-1-m.sandoval@proxmox.com> (raw)
See the first commit for more details.
This was tested with proxmox-backup-client making a login/backup using different
credentials with and without newlines. The commands were similar to the
systemd-run commands at the Backup Client Usage docs.
I did not find a way to create the keyfile with newlines in its password using
proxmox-backup-client since it reads from the tty stdin, but surely it could be
created manually. Perhaps it is safe-ish to also remove trailing control
characters from the encryption password but this seems a safer approach for now.
Diferences from v1:
- Always do an extra allocation to keep the code clean
- Rename password to blob
- Only strip newlines on passwords
