Title:SUSE-SU-2014:1247-1 -- Security update for bash
Description:The command-line shell 'bash' evaluates environment variables, whichallows the injection of characters and might be used to access files onthe system in some circumstances (CVE-2014-7169).Please note that this issue is different from a previously fixedvulnerability tracked under CVE-2014-6271 and is less serious due to thespecial, non-default system configuration that is needed to create anexploitable situation.To remove further exploitation potential we now limit thefunction-in-environment variable to variables prefixed with BASH_FUNC_.This hardening feature is work in progress and might be improved in laterupdates.Additionally, two other security issues have been fixed: * CVE-2014-7186: Nested HERE documents could lead to a crash of bash. * CVE-2014-7187: Nesting of for loops could lead to a crash of bash.Security Issues: * CVE-2014-7169 * CVE-2014-7186 * CVE-2014-7187
