Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2013:1303 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE scl-utils bug fix update 2013-09-30 21:13:39 UTC

Description Jan Zeleny 2013-04-29 13:06:39 UTC
If PATH is not set as scl-utils expect it, calling scl enable ... produces "command not found" error. This is caused by scl utility calling the command without absolute path, relying on the PATH that user has set. This is dangerous both from functionality and security perspective.
