3. Description:

 

The GNU Bourne Again shell (Bash) is a shell and command language

interpreter compatible with the Bourne shell (sh). Bash is the default

shell for Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

 

A flaw was found in the way Bash evaluated certain specially crafted

environment variables. An attacker could use this flaw to override or

bypass environment restrictions to execute shell commands. Certain

services and applications allow remote unauthenticated attackers to

provide environment variables, allowing them to exploit this issue.

(CVE-2014-6271)

 

For additional information on the CVE-2014-6271 flaw, refer to the

Knowledgebase article at https://access.redhat.com/articles/1200223

 

Red Hat would like to thank Stephane Chazelas for reporting this issue.

 

All bash users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which

contain a backported patch to correct this issue.

 

4. Solution:

 

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata

relevant to your system have been applied.

 

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the

Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
