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:
- When running a command that output a lot of data, and then setting a variable
from that output, the ksh could become unresponsive. The combination of I/O
redirection and synchronization mechanism has been changed, thus fixing the bug.
As a result, commands complete successfully, and the ksh no longer hangs.
(BZ#1128585)
Users of ksh are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this
bug.
