RHBA-2008:0938 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
bash bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated bash package that fixes a bug is now available.
Description
Bash is the default shell for Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
This updated package fixes a bug in the bash signal-handling code which,
under certain conditions (such as when calling a bash script on a slow NFS
share), caused bash to return the following error message: "/bin/sh: bad
interpreter: Interrupted system call". In this updated package, bash
handles the signals correctly, therefore allowing scripts which fell under
those conditions to complete successfully.
All users of bash are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
