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 (sh) 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:

  • Previously, the ksh shell terminated unexpectedly with a segmentation fault

when attempting to reset or modify certain signal traps. With this update, ksh
no longer attempts to free memory used for a string literal, which prevents the
described problem from occurring. (BZ#1252896)

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.
