RHBA-2014:0521 - Bug Fix Advisory

Synopsis

ksh bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated ksh packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 6.

Description

KornShell (KSH) is a Unix shell developed by AT&T Bell Laboratories, which is
backward-compatible with the Bourne shell (Bash) and includes many features of
the C shell. The most recent version is KSH-93. KornShell complies with the
POSIX.2 standard (IEEE Std 1003.2-1992).

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Due to a race condition in the job list code, the ksh shell could terminate
    unexpectedly with a segmentation fault when the user had run custom scripts on
    their system. With this update, the race condition has been fixed, and
    segmentation faults in ksh no longer occur. (BZ#1097293)

Users of ksh are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this
bug.

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
