SIP: contact search/add bar filtering issues
I'm looking at using Ring as a SIP client and I seem to have been able to successfully install the 2018.6.6 version from the Gentoo overlay. However, I've been having a couple of problems with adding/searching contacts using the text input at the top left of the interface:
- I can't seem to call any contacts with
*
in their numbers. This might not be an issue normally since normal phone numbers don't use that character, but my VoIP provider has voicemail set up as*97
and there doesn't seem to be any way to call that number to check my voicemail using Ring. I even tried manually adding a conversation to the database using SQLite and still didn't see it in the list. - I tried typing a
'
into the search box to see if that would let me use special characters like*
and it crashed LRC with an SQL error. I suppose that there really aren't any phone numbers with'
in them, but at the same time the fact that Ring uses SQL but doesn't seem to be properly escaping its queries is a major red flag for security-conscious users.
