#2 Updated by Dominic Cleal over 8 years ago

Confirmed on EL 6.4 with Foreman RC4, ruby_parser 3.0.1 (hm, should be 3.0.4) and safemode 1.1.0.

#3 Updated by Ohad Levy over 8 years ago

does it work correctly on 3.0.4?

No, just tested ruby_parser 3.0.4 and it doesn't fix it, but it does work on a Fedora 17 system with Ruby 1.9.3 and either ruby_parser 3.0.1 or 3.0.4.

I have the same problem with preseed provisioning templates.
finish and pxe templates are working fine, but provisioning is not working.

Are there any workarounds?

Thankx.

Disabling safemode_render under More->Settings->Provisioning is the only one I'm aware of. This means users with edit rights on provisioning templates can execute code in Foreman.

Daniel, do you have a sample preseed you can attach that shows the problem? be nice to cross-reference with the broken KS example.

#9 Updated by Daniel Verniers about 8 years ago

@Dominic

This has solved the problem for the moment

@Greg

I'll come back to your question later - i will create a minimal version of my preseed file as an example

#10 Updated by Ohad Levy about 8 years ago

@Danial, please let us know, as I would consider this a blocker for 1.1 release

#11 Updated by Ohad Levy about 8 years ago

  • Target version deleted (1.1)

I don't consider this as a blocker for 1.1 release, since there is a workaround (which should be clearly documented in the release notes).

Since there is no trivial fix to resolved, I'm removing the 1.1 milestone from it.

This is a stack overflow in 1.8.7 regex library. 1.9.3 is unaffected.

I think to resolve this for MRI 1.8 we'll revert the versions of safemode and ruby_parser to their previous versions, but use the current version for MRI 1.9 where we need recent fixes to function.

#15 Updated by Dominic Cleal about 8 years ago

This is going to bring back #2217 (the warnings about redefined constants). Not sure if it's worth worrying about, or putting in our own code for defining the constants in Regexp so we don't hit the issue.
