Bash Version: 4.3 Patch Level: 27 Release Status: release Description: This is a bug affecting the latest of the shellshock patches at the time of writing, 4.3.27. If bash is configured and built on a system with no libtermcap, it attempts to build statically linking its own one. In this case, the resulting bash that is built does not correctly wrap long input lines. Repeat-By: ./configure while no libtermcap is available, or make the following changes to the configured makefile: < LDFLAGS = $(STATIC_LD) $(LOCAL_LDFLAGS) $(PROFILE_FLAGS) $(CFLAGS) --- > LDFLAGS = -L./lib/termcap $(STATIC_LD) $(LOCAL_LDFLAGS) $(PROFILE_FLAGS) $(CFLAGS) 311c311 < TERMCAP_LIB = -ltermcap --- > TERMCAP_LIB = ./lib/termcap/libtermcap.a 314c314 < TERMCAP_DEP = --- > TERMCAP_DEP = ./lib/termcap/libtermcap.a Fix: Immediate workaround is to install libtermcap. The bug appears to have been introduced between patches 4.3.25 and 4.3.27.
