Synopsis
ksh bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this 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 (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:
- Due to a change in handling signals when exiting the scope of a ksh function, some trapped signals were ignored. As a consequence, the function which received a signal did not pass some signals to the caller function. With this update, the "_AST_KSH_SIGNAL_BUBBLE" environment variable, which can be set to enable the old behavior, has been added. As a result, the described problem can be now avoided. (BZ#1507484)
Users of ksh are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
Solution
