Hello Chet et al. While taking a closer look at this issue on Bash 4.2, I noticed a potential NULL deref. i.e. $ FOO='() { :;}; blah4242' bash -c "echo bleh" This occurs in bgp_prune() where, because bgpids.npid=0 and js_c_childmax=-1, the code in the loop executes but bgpids.list=NULL. I didn't look closely enough to know if this situation is only reachable via the recently-fixed vulnerable code-path or not. --mancha
