Subject: Re: zsh seems to be vulnerable to CVE-2014-6271: remote code execution through bash
Date: Thu, 25 Sep 2014 14:11:33 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140925141133.49a7127b@pwslap01u.europe.root.pri> (raw)

If you want to follow up, here's a news story describing the problem and
implications:

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/09/24/bash_shell_vuln/

There's nothing in zsh that corresponds to this particular problem; I
can't think of an easy way to get the environment to leak into code in
zsh without the code doing it deliberately but feel free to have a
think --- some of the special variable handling is quite complicated.
