Description Kurt Seifried 2015-08-07 23:54:44 UTC 
Steve Grubb of Red Hat reports:

When auditing the filesystem the names of files are logged. These filenames 
can contain escape sequences, when viewed using the ausearch programs "-i" 
option for example this can result in the escape sequences being processed 
unsafely by the terminal program being used to view the data.

Patch fixing unescaped control characters

This patch will be applied upstream. Please share with other distributions. The older the audit package, the more likely they will have problems back porting.
