Bash Version: 4.3 Patch Level: 33 Release Status: release Description: It is possible to supply many ascii control characters as function names. This allows obfuscation of function calls because the majority of these are non printing characters. https://github.com/airencracken/why/blob/master/control_character_functions.sh Repeat-By: Define a function with a control character, then call it. Fix: Disallow functions to be named after control characters or non-printing characters in general.
