openSUSE Security Update : bash (openSUSE-SU-2012:0898-1)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 74685

Language:

Synopsis

The remote openSUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

Bash was fixed to avoid a possible buffer overflow when expanding the /dev/fd prefix with e.g. the test builtin (bnc#770795) (CVE-2012-3410)

Due to _FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 enablement, the exploit will only abort the shell.

Solution

Update the affected bash packages.
