Insight
A vulnerability was found and corrected in bash:
A stack-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way bash, the GNU Bourne Again shell, expanded certain /dev/fd file names when checking file names ('
test'
command) and evaluating /dev/fd file
names in conditinal command expressions. A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted Bash script that, when executed, would cause the bash executable to crash (CVE-2012-3410).
Additionally the official patches 011 to 037 for bash-4.2 has been applied which resolves other issues found, including the CVE-2012-3410 vulnerability.
