Canonical paths should be used when checking if two Paths or Files point to the same place
I was looking through the source for the launcher and found that when File::equals(File)
is called, it just does a comparison on the Paths from the Files which is implemented as file1.getPath().compareToIgnoreCase(file2.getPath())
. Anywhere else in the launcher code that compares Paths without first converting to canonical is subject to the issue as well.
For example, comparing /foo/bar/
and /foo/../foo/bar/
would currently give a false-negative when checked for equality in the above two styles, potentially resulting in data loss such as here:
