Descriptions
popd in bash might allow local users to bypass the restricted shell and cause a use-after-free via a crafted address.
popd en bash podrían permitir a usuarios locales eludir el shell restringido y provocar un uso después de liberación de memoria a través de una dirección manipulada.
A denial of service flaw was found in the way bash handled popd commands. A poorly written shell script could cause bash to crash resulting in a local denial of service limited to a specific bash session.
The bash packages provide Bash, which is the default shell for Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Security Fix: An arbitrary command injection flaw was found in the way bash processed the hostname value. A malicious DHCP server could use this flaw to execute arbitrary commands on the DHCP client machines running bash under specific circumstances. An arbitrary command injection flaw was found in the way bash processed the SHELLOPTS and PS4 environment variables.
