vcs_info modules no longer work after zsh upgrade to 5.0.2-31
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7.4
- zsh-5.0.2-31.el7
Issue
We recently upgraded zsh
on our RHEL 7.4
hosts from 5.0.2-28
to 5.0.2-31
.
After upgrade oh-my-zsh
vcs_info
zsh
hooks are no longer working.
Resolution
Update to zsh-5.0.2-33.el7
shipped with Advisory RHSA-2019:2017 or newer.
Root Cause
Security update RHSA-2018:3073 introduced overflow of PATH_MAX
-sized buffer in spelling correction. This is now fixed and oh-my-zsh
vcs_info
zsh
hooks no longer fail.
