2 wonder if the other platforms ought not to test it and get it unmasked
3 considering the changelog entry below...

11 Simon Kelley <simon@××××××××××××××.uk> pointed out at security bug in
12 dhcpcd related to *.info file. A malicios administrator of untrusted
13 DHCP server may execute any command with root privileges on DHCP
14 client machine by sending the command enclosed in shell metacharacters
15 in one of DHCP server provided options. Fixed by enclosing all strings
16 in *.info file into single quotes and replacing any single quotes
17 found in DHCP option strings with space. - S.V.
