SLES 12.5: trouble with backslash

[el-piewie]

Suddenly there is a strange behaviour of PLA 1.2.6.7 around backslashes on SLES 12.5 here (php74-7.4.33-1.65.1, apache-2.4.51-35.41.1, openldap2-2.4.41-22.24.2).

I created and imported an ldif file including this value: *[[\:space:\]]*

if I open the DIT entry in PLA, and I select update this object (without modifying it) PLA wants to write this target value: *[[:space:]]*

What is happening around the backslash and how can I control the behaviour?

Update: Downgrading to 1.2.6.6 lets the problem disappear.

I could apply the following patches to 1.2.6.6 without getting into trouble with the sudo Patterns inside the DIT:

• XSS Fix
• null pointer on trim
• null arguments sent to null parameters
• check smd5 password
• implicit conversion from float 0.75 in createlm
• each() deprecated

Now there is still code deviation to 1.2.6.7 in:

• expand.php
• refresh.php
• PageRender.php
• Template.php
• Tree.php
• common.php
• ds_ldap.php
• functions.php

I can see the same behaviour of PLA 1.2.6.7-1 on ubuntu 22.04: PLA wants to eat my backslashes: .../log/[[\:space\:]] -> press update object -> ../log/[[\:space\:]]

on the SLES 12 System I applied all patches beside the revert patches. No problems with disappearing backslashes
