I really don't see the point of people posting bash bugs here. Especially not bugs in old versions. There are a lot of bash bugs, you can't gain any extra priveleges by exploiting them though. --Adam from bash(1): BUG REPORTS If you find a bug in bash, you should report it. But first, you should make sure that it really is a bug, and that it appears in the latest version of bash that you have. Once you have determined that a bug actually exists, use the bashbug command to submit a bug report. If you have a fix, you are encouraged to mail that as well! Suggestions and `philosophical' bug reports may be mailed to bug- bash () prep ai MIT Edu or posted to the Usenet newsgroup gnu.bash.bug. ALL bug reports should include: The version number of bash The hardware and operating system The compiler used to compile A description of the bug behaviour A short script or `recipe' which exercises the bug bashbug inserts the first three items automatically into the template it provides for filing a bug report. Comments and bug reports concerning this manual page should be directed to chet () ins CWRU Edu.
