FreeBSD : bash -- out-of-bounds memory access in parser (4a4e9f88-491c-11e4-ae2c-c80aa9043978)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 78002

Language:

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

RedHat security team reports :

It was discovered that the fixed-sized redir_stack could be forced to overflow in the Bash parser, resulting in memory corruption, and possibly leading to arbitrary code execution when evaluating untrusted input that would not otherwise be run as code.

An off-by-one error was discovered in the way Bash was handling deeply nested flow control constructs. Depending on the layout of the .bss segment, this could allow arbitrary execution of code that would not otherwise be executed by Bash.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
