The termincal characteristics which lead to the security faults have been
recognized and given standards designations in terminfo and termcap:
>From HCX/UX man terminfo:
pkey_key pfkey pk Prog funct key #1 to type string #2
pkey_local pfloc pl Prog funct key #1 to execute string #2
pkey_xmit pfx px Prog funct key #1 to xmit string #2
plab_norm pln pn Prog label #1 to show string #2
>From Sun man termcap:
pk str program function key n to type string s (terminfo only)
pl str program function key n to execute string s (terminfo only)
pn str (NP) program label n to show string s (terminfo only)
px str program function key n to transmit string s (terminfo only)
What next, terminal-independent nasty-grams? Maybe a terminal capability
for forge_output and wreak_havoc should be standardized? (:-o) Oh Nooo!
