Topic

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

Description

The bash packages provide Bash (Bourne-again shell), which is the default shell for Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Previously, when bash expanded a parameter stored in a string that exceeded the memory allocation limit for string expansion, it crashed with a segmentation fault error. With this update, the string expansion code has been updated, and bash now exits gracefully with an error message instead of crashing when a string is too long to expand. (BZ#1403215)

Users of bash 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.
