Subject: Fix: forbid session name creation if contains /
X-Git-Tag: v2.4.0~17
X-Git-Url: https://git.lttng.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0841762cf475e71336a4f8df1b9a468e3a606dde;p=lttng-tools.git

Fix: forbid session name creation if contains /

This adds a validation function for session name which for now denies
any session name containing '/'.

This is in response of bug #721 that actually uses a path as a session
name such as "test/../session1" which would then be concatenated to the
session path adding a relative path to it making this a serious security
issue.

Because of this issue, this is backported from master up to stable-2.3.

Fixes #721
