We can call it a "lack of security feature" if you like, but that won't change the fact that this allowed local root escalation where bash would have not. Whether or not WMware is crapware doesn't really matter here.

I'm definitely not pro-bash, nor anti-dash, but switching shells because one vulnerability was found is "fear driven security".
