Hello,
While this can seem completely obsolete, I still have machines running
bash 2.05b (Debian etch). I worry about upgrading to bash 3.x because of
some backward compatibility issue.
It there any reason why there was no patch for bash 2.05b ? The test
command below show that the bug also affect this version:
j$ bash --version
GNU bash, version 2.05b.0(1)-release (i386-pc-linux-gnu)

j$ env x='() { :;}; echo vulnerable' bash -c "echo this is a test"
vulnerable
this is a test
Best Regards,
Jean-Christian
