Re:Xz: Can you spot the single character that disabled Linux... by patrakov on Sunday March 31, 2024 @10:25AM (#39884567)
Well - that would be exactly the point of the attacker. GCC errors out, and it does not matter whether this is because the intentionally typoed header does not exist or because non-English characters are not allowed. Errors encountered during compilation of test programs go to /dev/null anyway, as they are expected not to compile successfully on some systems - that's exactly the point of the test. So no, this option would not have helped.
