MGASA-2012-0184
Date: 	July 29th, 2012
Affected releases: 	1, 2


Description:
Bash has been updated to patchlevel 37 to fix several minor issues.
One of these is a buffer overflow vulnerability related to using the
test command with invalid filenames in the /dev/fd directory
(CVE-2012-3410).

Mageia is not vulnerable to a buffer overflow with this issue because
of the compiler options that were used to build it, but it can still
cause a crash.


Updated Packages:
Mageia 1:
bash-4.2-5.1.mga1
bash-doc-4.2-5.1.mga1

Mageia 2:
bash-4.2-5.1.mga2
bash-doc-4.2-5.1.mga2
