Viruzilla
By hub, Thursday 22 September 2005 at 18:48 :: AbiWord
Some moron decided to post a virus for Windows in AbiWord's bugzilla. Since we can't delete attachment in bugzilla (with good reason), I went to set the attachment blob to null using the following magic in MySQL:
mysql> uses bugs; mysql> update attachments set thedata="" where attach_id=1234;
Replace 1234
by the real attachment id as shown in the web interface. I didn't delete the actual row because I didn't want to risk the database to be inconsistent. I also disable the guilty account. Lately we have had two person posting "test" bugs...
And to paraphrase Nat, this person gets my middle finger of the week.
