Shouldnt this be:

FWIW, this will reject too much;

/path/to/sth..jpg


Indeed, since I don't believe that iface can reasonably include a "/"
its sufficient to check for that.   If not then you need to check for
"../" at the beginning of iface and "/.." anywhere else in it.   But
simply forbidding "/" should be fine.

Crap, thank you for noticing it, guys.  The fix should be:

https://github.com/reubenhwk/radvd/commit/7a1471b62da88373e8f4209d503307c5d841b81f

Now, "", "..", "." and filenames with "/" inside are denied.


Thanks,
