Is there any real world example where this bug actually allows crossing trust boundary? I was not able to find any use where this "eval $(locale)" pattern is used even with trusted environment. Additionally, glibc locale man page does not document POSIX requirement to have the output safe for re-entry to the shell. I don't think this got any CVE assigned either. Gentoo GLSA 201011-01 does link their bug listed in comment #1 as [1], but the issue is not described in the text. http://www.gentoo.org/security/en/glsa/glsa-201011-01.xml This issue has been addressed in following products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Via RHSA-2011:0412 https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2011-0412.html This issue has been addressed in following products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Via RHSA-2011:0413 https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2011-0413.html This issue has been addressed in following products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Via RHSA-2012:0125 https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2012-0125.html Statement: (none) |
