@abbbi thank you for your prompt reply! When the syntax is strictly only ``` VARIABLE=VALUE ``` it is not needed to 'source' it so security could be improved (with reasonable...

@abbbi would you agree when I make a pull request to improve security by only parsing it (instead of executing it)? Or would you reject such a change and prefer...

I removed the "critical/security/legal" label from this issue because it is no longer "critical/security/legal", cf. https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/3292#issuecomment-2244983803

I postponed it to the ReaR v3.1 milestone because things are currently OK, see https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/3292#issuecomment-2249670113 so this could be improved for ReaR v3.1 as time permits.

From the comment at that code place follows that also 'user_xattr' should be considered as a "problematic" mount option (i.e. a mount option that could let 'mount' fail) so this...

@Spadille1337 I do not understand what you like to achieve with ReaR and a "backup" of only /dev/sdb when /dev/sda is your system disk (where `/` `/boot` `/home` and `swap`...
