The seventh patch release of Bash-1.14 is available for anonymous FTP with the URL ftp://slc2.ins.cwru.edu/pub/dist/bash-1.14.7.tar.gz Diffs from version 1.14.6 are available as ftp://slc2.ins.cwru.edu/pub/dist/bash-1.14.6-1.14.7.diff.gz A document describing the fixes made in bash-1.14.7 is in the file NEWS in the distribution. A copy is appended. This release adds no new features and fixes two bugs. It's being made as a result of the recent security problem. To apply diffs to an existing bash-1.14.6 installation to bring it up to 1.14.7, cd to the bash-1.14.6 source directory and type `patch -p1 < patch-file'. These files will soon be available for anonymous FTP from the usual GNU archives. Bug reports concerning bash may be sent to bug-bash@prep.ai.mit.edu. There is a `bashbug' program in the distribution that should be used to report bugs. ========== NEWS ========== This file documents the bugs fixed between this release, bash-1.14.7, and the last public bash release, 1.14.6. 1. Bugs fixed in Bash a. A memory leak that caused long-running scripts to eventually consume all available memory was fixed. b. A sign-extension bug that caused a security hole for non-interactive shells was fixed. -- ``The lyf so short, the craft so long to lerne.'' - Chaucer Chet Ramey, Case Western Reserve University Internet: chet@po.CWRU.Edu
