news 28 Posted September 25, 2014 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 [slackware-security] bash (SSA:2014-267-01) New bash packages are available for Slackware 13.0, 13.1, 13.37, 14.0, 14.1, and -current to fix a security issue. Here are the details from the Slackware 14.1 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ patches/packages/bash-4.2.048-i486-1_slack14.1.txz: Upgraded. This update fixes a vulnerability in bash related to how environment variables are processed: trailing code in function definitions was executed, independent of the variable name. In many common configurations (such as the use of CGI scripts), this vulnerability is exploitable over the network. Thanks to Stephane Chazelas for discovering this issue. For more information, see: http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2014/q3/650 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-6271 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Where to find the new packages: +-----------------------------+ Thanks to the friendly folks at the OSU Open Source Lab (http://osuosl.org) for donating FTP and rsync hosting to the Slackware project! :-) Also see the "Get Slack" section on http://slackware.com for additional mirror sites near you.
