Hi Chet, Thanks a lot for the patch. The official bash patch & the patch that you posted on openwall forum seems to be different. The official bash patch does not contain this
*** ../bash-4.2.48/y.tab.c 2012-12-31 11:53:10.000000000 -0500 --- y.tab.c 2014-09-25 20:23:25.000000000 -0400 *************** *** 5163,5166 **** --- 5163,5168 ---- word_desc_to_read = (WORD_DESC *)NULL; + eol_ungetc_lookahead = 0; + current_token = '\n'; /* XXX */ last_read_token = '\n'; *************** *** 8377,8379 **** } #endif /* HANDLE_MULTIBYTE */ - --- 8379,8380 ---- Is this intentional ? Thanks & Regards Nagendra.V.S
