GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
Machine Type: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
Bash Version: 3.2
Patch Level: 17
Release Status: release
Description:
There is a buffer underflow in evalfile.c which causes glibc to assert.
It is generally caused by faulty media when trying to evaluate files.
I encountered it when trying to log into a device with a corrupted
CompactFlash card.
builtins/evalfile.c:152
When read() returns -1 a NULL-character is written ahead of the buffer.
MontaVista linux has already fixed this issue upon request, although
I'm not sure
if this fix is pushed upstream.
Repeat-By:
Not reproducable without bad media.
Fix:
Move the incorrect NULL-assignment below both resultcode checks.
patch below on the latest downloadable version.
