| BASH PATCH REPORT |
| ================= |
| |
| Bash-Release: 4.2 |
| Patch-ID: bash42-013 |
| |
| Bug-Reported-by: Marten Wikstrom <marten.wikstrom@keystream.se> |
| Bug-Reference-ID: <BANLkTikKECAh94ZEX68iQvxYuPeEM_xoSQ@mail.gmail.com> |
| Bug-Reference-URL: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2011-05/msg00049.html |
| |
| Bug-Description: |
| |
| An off-by-one error caused the shell to skip over CTLNUL characters, |
| which are used internally to mark quoted null strings. The effect |
| was to have stray 0x7f characters left after expanding words like |
| """"""""aa. |
| |
| Patch (apply with `patch -p0'): |
