Bash Version: 4.4 Patch Level: 12 Release Status: release Description: In rbash v4.4.12 it is possible to escape the restricted shell by running a program in the current directory by setting the BASH_CMDS variable. This had currently been patched to exclude "/" characters. However, if the file is flagged as executable, no slash needs to be included, and the file with be executed. Repeat-By: The break out is possible by placing a "sh" file in the current directory. When I was working on this, I was able to simply run "cp /bin/sh ." From there, set the BASH_CMDS and execute it as such: BASH_CMDS[a]=sh;a Fix: This issue seems to have been addressed in v4.4, however it appears that it was just implementing a filter to restrict the use of the "/" character.
