Subject: [PATCH 2/5] hush: export source_script()
Date: Fri, 30 Oct 2026 15:13:29 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261030-devboot-v1-2-ab9dd3a92c66@pengutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261030-devboot-v1-0-ab9dd3a92c66@pengutronix.de>

C code that wants to source a shell script has to go through
run_command("source ..."), which parses the command line and looks the
script up in the PATH.

Export source_script() instead. As the simple parser can't source
scripts, it gets a stub returning -ENOSYS. Unlike its callers in hush,
source_script() can now be called directly, so check the security policy
in it, like run_command() and execute_script() do.
